S7 Group Mark Meeting 14 October

[Wagonman]

Rather short notice, I'm afraid – though you were all warned in the Newsletter – but the attractions for the Mark meeting include Ian Roll's 'Pol Sands'. Ian Norman's 'Shingle Street', and a talk by Ian Middleditch on 'Scale7 Locomotive Building My Way'. Definitely not to be missed.

And just to prove you don't have to be named 'Ian', Laurie Griffin will be there with his trade stand so bring your well nourished wallets! The Roundy-Roundy test track will also be there to test-run/show-off your latest masterpiece.

Not wanting to deter anyone but your Newsletter editor will also be in attendance...

Best Beloved and I shall be there. I'm not demonstrating or showing anything, but will have various builds under construction for discussing with clients.

Looking forward to it!

Yes I will be at Mark. Will the test track have DCC control available?

I have no idea, but I will try to find out. I would imagine so...

 

[Martin Field]

Could someone explain what a "Mark" meeting is, please? Is this the Bury St. Edmunds one?

My Dad was a Mark Master Mason, but I'm sure it's nowt to do with bare legs and chests!

 

[Heather Kay]

'Fraid it's over in Zummerzet.

I'm hoping to make it, all being well, with a "mock up" Bow Creek. Not a serious contender for the challenge 33 but the beginnings of an S7 layout all the same.

[Martin Field]

Should I ask again?

 

[Heather Kay]

Should I ask again?

I already said.

It's the ScaleSeven group autumn meeting, and it's held in Mark, Somerset.

There is a spring meeting, which will be in April next year and in Albury, Herts.

I consider myself suitably corrected. I'm a Surrey gell myself.

Martin,
The Bury St Edmunds meeting is a Gauge O Guild event although all welcome. Very enjoyable last year, hope to meet you there.

Sorry Martin. I started the thread in the S7 section and expected it to have an S7 tag. But it doesn't. My bad.

PS: there are supposed to be Challenge 33 entries there though nobody – Colin apart – has said anything.

PPS: how do you change thread headings?

Just above the first post on the righthand side there is an option for "Thread Tools" click on the little down arrow and it should pop up an "edit thread" option.

I thought I had a pretty good knowledge of English geography, having once done a postman's job, but I have never heard of Mark as a place, that's why I asked. Oi've 'eard of Western Zoyland. Moi Oncle lived therr.

Yes Tim, I'll be going to the Bury St. Eds show, it's near-ish where I live now.

It's on the north edge of the Levels on the Highbridge to Wells road, so pretty much the opposite side to Westonzyland. Within the village the VH is located on Vole Road. How rustic can you get?

 

[Martin Field]

Thanks, Wagonman. Saves me looking it up.
