    Thanks, of course I had completely forgotten about the water carrier.

    Just had an email that the Newcastle trip on 11 April has been postponed to 12 June as Clun Castle won't be ready in time.

    Same here, pity they couldn’t have substituted it with 60163 Tornado, oh well being a pensioner the date change doesn’t really matter to me, but I appreciate that a lot of working age people now won’t be able to do this now

    Tornado will be at East Lancs for their event the same weekend - I doubt the A1SLT would want to disappoint ELR for the second year running after its no-show last year

    Guessing Friday as it's easier to avoid engineering work and early closures.

    Thankfully the hotel I had booked didn't cost any extra to move the booking.
