October 2008
The third week in October saw our Society exhibiting some of our members as well as the clubs own models at the Midlands Model Engineering Exhibition at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre. Having a stand at this important annual exhibition allowed us to meet many friends, old and new, meet like minded enthusiasts from all over the UK, and receive several very positive new membership enquiries.   To see some photographs of our Society's exhibition stand, and the models we displayed, please click on the thumbnail on the right.  
 

October 2008
On Sunday 12 October several of our members accepted an invitation for another visit to the Derby Model & Experimental Engineers Society at Morley near Derby. The DMEE have excellent facilities and a particularly interesting ground level track layout. Our members thoroughly enjoyed their 'away day' at Morley, and our thanks go to  all of the DMEE members who made us so welcome !. As a permanent record of a very special day, members attending took photographs, some of which can be seen by clicking on the thumbnail on the right.  
 

October 2008
Our Society was 60 years old in 2007, having been founded as long ago as 1947.  It was arranged that as part of the 60 year celebration members and their partners would have lunch on the Severn Valley Railway dining train. Unfortunately the severe flooding of the SVR in June 2007 and the loss of service between Kidderminster and Bridgenorth meant that the Society's lunch had to postponed for over 12 months until October 2008. To see some of the photographs taken (1 year late  !) by members on Sunday 5 October, 2007, please click on the thumbnail on the right.
