Thames Valley Group at the Basingstoke Model Railway Exhibition

This weekend, members of the Thames Valley Support Group took our stand to the Basingstoke Model Railway Exhibition. We talked to lots of people, but do not yet know if one of them was the benevolent benefactor we were seeking for our railway!

However, we discovered that many of them do know of the L&B and some of them have visited the railway. Many indicated they hope to visit in time to come. All in all we felt we had generated or re-generated interest in Woody Bay and all that place represents to us.

Thanks to John Crockford, Robin Horne and Stuart Wise for manning the stand on Saturday and to Bill Leadbetter for his support on Sunday.

The photo below shows Bill telling a visitor all about ‘our railway’. I leave you to decide who is standing on the right of the picture!
