Members,
Acton Depot are holding their Spring open weekend on 23 and 24 April.
Forum tradition dictates that the Saturday is one of our regular meets.
The meet starts around 2.30pm at the Red Lion and Pineapple at 281 High Street, Acton. This allows plenty of time for members to enjoy the depot (opening at 11am) at their leisure then make the short walk up the road to the pub.
New members are particularly welcome and can be assured that 'the usual suspects' will take you under their wing, if need be.
There will of course be a forum meet phone for people to contact each other, details of which will follow at a later time.
Any members under 18: we do ask that you carry emergency contact details with you, have parental consent (or even better, bring them along too) and some form of identity. For parents peace of mind, those working within the transport industry are CRB/DBS checked.
Any other thoughts and suggestions are welcome, and a rough idea of who will be attending is always helpful too.

I might turn up for this as it's likely I'll be in London that weekend.

I shall be on the Radley Models stand as usual. I will try to get away to the Red Lion after closing up for the day at the Depot.

It's unlikely I will make the depot, but I may join you in the pub afterwards.

I will be on the miniature railway as usual. I might join you in the pub if there are still members there at about 6pm.

I hope those who make the meet will enjoy themselves. Alas, I can't join you this time.
Will there be custard to help the group find each other? As an Archers fan, I now am a little nervous of custard these days.

Sadly I won't be able to join you this year as I am working. It would have been nice to put faces to names but alas it is not to be. Perhaps next time. Hope you all have or have had an interesting day at the Depot.

I'm afraid domestic issues prevent me from coming today. Echoing the others, I hope those attending have a jolly good time.

3 was the peak turnout Nigel and I held the fort for a couple of hours, with Aaron there as well for a bit, but for the most part there were just 2 of us. Let's hope the next meet has a better attendance.

Sending apologies - I was at Excel providing directions (and nicking freebies) for my out-of-town mate picking up his running number for the marathon tomorrow.
Will try and make a meet.
