I will start looking into it and will have a chat with the folks at MAM
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

So should Nick's idea of a socially-distanced SIG gathering be pursued?

I think it should.

That would be very helpful. They may be very strict on how we do things. My model club haven't gone back because the way we hold our meetings (moving around a table and lots of talking) don't match with the new venue rules. So we met in a pub last week!

It may be worth looking at church or village halls or pub meeting rooms in the vicinity. I did think of Hanslope Village Hall where they have regular model shows and may be more understanding. http://www.hanslopevillagehall.co.uk/

Unsurprising I think, they held on as long as they could, but in the end it was the only sensible decision in my view. Shame, but I think we just have to wipe 2020 off and start afresh in 2021.

Do you still meet in the old City of London Adult Educational place Nick ? Lots of decent pubs around there, plus the odd cathedral or two  ;)
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Nick's idea of a SIG meeting was always very appealing, even more so now. Let's do it if we can find a venue and apply suitable precautions.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
