7 March 2009 - Sussex Downs 009 Group Members Day, Haywards Heath

Another 009 Society area group event, the 3rd this year, following the same successful formula used by the SWOONS and Beds & Bucks Groups in January - a selection of layouts provided by Group members and invited friends, some trade support from Meridian Models and Nigel Lawton in this case, Brian Guilmant and team with the aladdin's cave known as 009 Society Members Sales and a very well organised refreshments facility. Mix all together with friendly informality and ambient fellowship, add around 100 attenders and you have a great day out!
This little event was very well organised by Tim Sanderson and a hard working team from the hosting group and was attended by many narrow gauge modellers "in the know" who had travelled long distances in some cases to be there. If you haven't managed to get to one of these informal group days and it is practicable for you to do so then you really should put it in your diary and make it a priority to attend - so much better in many ways than the big shows. I hope my photo selection gives something of a taste of most of the good modelling that was there to be enjoyed. Congratulations Sussex Downs Group, looking forward to the next one already!
