February 2010: We started the month by completing the assembly of the four baseboards required for our new Oakenshaw layout. Despite the snow we staged the 31st Redditch Model Railway Exhibition over the weekend of the 20th and 21st February. Attendance was up on 2009 and the show was well recieved by all those that supported the exhibition.

January 2010: For the first in living memory we didn't meet on a Tuesday evening as our Tuesday 5th January meeting was cancelled due to adverse weather conditions. We have started 2010 by workings on our plans for the new exhibition layout called Oakenshaw. As part of this process we have also started dismantling our Gorcott layout as some of the buildings on this layout will be used on Oakenshaw. A number of mock up buildings have also been made for the new layout and following end of the snowy spell of weather we have been able to have some plywood cut and we have started making the new baseboards.
