I'll be on the Gauge 3 Society stand - hope to meet some of you there.
My avatar brass van will be on display - in MR grey.

I won a pair of tickets this week to the Derby match - but I know where I'd rather be...!!

As I missed Telford I'm just having a muse about going; but is the postcode correct?
LE11 seems to be in Loughborough whereas LE12 9DS shows as correct for the venue?

Actually, so I'm told , the postcode has recently changed , as seen on recent school letter heading, to DS and that either code will work........and there's always maps ;)

To solve this burning question, I rang the school to ask, it is LE12 9DA.

At last the truth is out...........................

Simples - M1 Junc 23 head west, right at traffic lights, second exit at second painted roundabout then school is on the right as the road turns to the left. If you get to the Black Swan you've gone too far but you could stop for a swift pint!
4 years at Loughborough Uni and guess where I spent many an evening!!

I will be there with a bodged layout albeit working"just". Rain damage through leaking garage roof and a desperate attempt to put everything right. I think I might just get away with it, but there might be a few hairy moments.
