I am giving you a quick heads up about an important date in June the SMJ get-together on the 12th. I am in the middle of arranging a stall at the The Friends of The Canal Museum, Stoke Bruerne 2010 Gala Weekend. The weekend will be full with opportunities to meet and greet, as well there'll be concerts, beer tents, and all-round good fun - I hope you can all come along and say hello, not just to make the first SMJ get-together a success but to support the Friends of The Canal Museum too!
If you feel you can support the SMJ stall with exhibits etc then the more the merrier! Let's all put the 12th of June 2010 in our diaries, tell our friends and make it a day to remember!!
There is the possiblity of a trip to Stoke Bruerne station being worked on too, more details to follow!
Once again, thank you for your support, none of this would be possible with out any of you.Please leave comments, thoughts, wants, "yes's and no's" below. Thanks for your support. Details so far:
