Another extremely wet and windy start to the year as Brian Guilmant
and myself loaded flares and lifejackets into the 009 Society Salesmobile and
set forth into the waterworld that parts of Somerset had become. Our destination, Ilton,
is very near the flooded Somerset Levels and at times the A303 heading west
from Yeovil was a bit like a causeway across a giant lake but we navigated a
dry route and got there safely, as did a good number of narrow gauge
enthusiasts, ready to enjoy the 8th South West Group 009 Society Members
Open Day. Once again Matt and Maria Cicquel came up from the Devon Railway
Centre and provided 5 star beverages and food including some splendid hot
“oggies” whilst everyone enjoyed the usual informal, relaxed and friendly
gathering amidst an entertaining variety of models provided by the host group
and friends. Well done to all the SWOONS team for an excellent event.
