Vierbrucken, member Ben Russ’s N gauge German alpine layout has been invited to the 2009 Railway Enthusiasts Club (REC - Farnborough) Annual Show now held in Aldershot.

The AGM was held on Friday 2nd May 2008

Main points

• Current committee and chairman returned unopposed

• Alf Rolph was made the club’s first honorary life member in recognition of his membership and support of the club and it’s activities over many years.

• Return to a permanent clubroom adjacent to our former site is still unresolved. It is anticipated that some formal proposals may be available to the committee later in the month. If so a special meeting will be called to discuss.

• No change in the subscription is envisaged until the clubroom situation is further advanced. Financial situation is satisfactory.

• No open day this year, but yes for 2009 possibly in September or October. Possible venues to be reviewed

• New member John welcomed formally.

We regularly submit pieces to local newspapers-Petersfield Post, Liphook Herald & Midhurst & Petworth Observer and over the years have achieved a good “hit rate”.

Recently we have used additionally  local community papers - Milland News and the Liphook Community Magazine and in the former have virtually a regular column!

Posters in local libraries (Liphook, Grayshott and Midhurst also help to keep our club known, together with the news section of the Liphook community web site.
