This was my third 009 Society AGM trip to Rainford,
Merseyside and for various reasons I have not yet managed a night’s sleep
beforehand, this year being no exception!. I dropped my son off at Heathrow at
9pm the previous night, got snarled up on the M6 around Birmingham and arrived
in the car park at Rainford at 2am where I proceeded to doss down in the car –
well worth the discomfort and sleep loss as at least I was in early and got 2
cups of tea with my bacon toastie! Thanks to the ladies and 5 stars already
awarded before we even got to the scrumptious cakes! Superbly organised by Stan
Williams and Merseyside & SW Lancs colleagues, an excellent show was opened
by Pete Waterman, a great selection of layouts and a host of friendly modellers
present. I hope you enjoy my photo impressions of the day!
