An open invitation

Really neat to see the photo of your group. Geographically you may be a long way but you are all an important prat of our Forum Group. Happy New Year to our UK brothers.

Love the hats.  We open crackers at our house each Christmas Eve and each contains that same hat.  Brought some home from Selfridge's when I was still working. Retired now so monthly trips to the UK are a thing of the past.  Especially miss it at Christmas time. 

Congratulations on your dedication to O gauge.  Ted, your layout is larger than mine and many here.  Nice job.  How about some more photos?

All the best, Ron

An O gauge train group is a happy group.

Thank you for the invite and photos

Thanks for the invite.  Glad you were able to enjoy your holiday party even though Ray was missing and even more glad that Ray has turned up OK.

I'd love to visit you over there some time, if I could.  Could I get a cold beer though?

I get to the Continent now and then but haven't been to the UK in many years.  Maybe it's time to pay a visit.

The Navy never got me to the UK while I was on active duty. I plan to get over there one of these days and when I do I will definitely take you guys up on your kind offer to visit your group.

Eric, the next time I make it back home to England, I'll be sure to let you know. Hopefully we will then be able to arrange a visit. (I'll bring some trains with me. )

Eric - well done for posting that!  I am the one on the far left with out a hat by the way!! As you can see by the car  - we do like to do things in style...................

If anyone does visit we could also fit in a vist to one of our many preserved railways - the West Somerset Railway is always a good one to visit and we had Club "boys day out" there only  a few months ago.

And apparently on the far right in the picture at the table.
