Hello Chaps,
I have secured a six foot long by six foot tall display board that accepts velcro fastenings for the get together. I may also have another coming . I am going to scan and print some pictures/maps and "sound-bites" for it. Does anyone have any opinions about the content for the event? SMJ in general or perhaps the Towcester - Olney Section only?
I am working on a 2mm/1foot diorama of the Stoke Bruerne Station also, which should add some local flavour. I have a six foot table and plain black cloth too.
Let me know if you think we should have an all SMJ or more local slant on our display board.
