Final Reminder: April 2nd Meeting Time Change and Club Fun Day Details
The Spring Awakening event is coming together quickly. Things come alive starting at 8:30 a.m. and last as long as we have trains running. Also note that the regularly scheduled April meeting has been moved to April 16th because of scheduling conflicts with the board so the entire day is a play day.
We are expecting two special groups during our club fun day. The first group is from the Middle Georgia Model Railroad Club of Warner Robins and the second group is from Electrical Contractor Incorporated. They are the group that donated the underground wire for the shop and Wes Roger’s son and daughter-in-law also work for them. In total we could have about 80 visitors. To make sure we have plenty of representation from the club we are asking to see who will be coming to the April 2nd event.

The first workday of 2022 is in the books. What a productive day.
The first workday of the 2022 season is in the books. The crew spent the day installing about 200 feet of track and two switches for the next member container. The crew consisted of Calvin, John T., Norm, Ben, “Bob”, David E., Thomas K., Gene, Robby, Rick, Wes, and Andrew. The day went well even with the normal heckling and second guess what we were doing. By the end of the day things came together well and this project is now about 90% complete.
