G0SH changes and moves

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

G0SH is now “Gauge 0 South Hampshire Group” and has now no connection with the South Hants MRC

The majority of the G0SH group are now in the process of moving to the Fareham and District MRC at Portchester to construct a continuous circuit layout.

Durbridge layout has remained at the SHMRC clubrooms at Fort Widley. It is being worked on in a modified form by some former members of G0SH plus a couple of SHMRC members, who are now taking an active interest in 7mm modelling.

We wish them well.
