-Our next meeting is Kindly hosted by the Kingsway Model Railway Society (KMRS) in Wellingborough.+**Saturday 16th March 2024 from 10:00**
  
-KMRS is a small club that has a room in the Kingsway Centre in Wellingborough, where a small 00 gauge layout is under construction. They also have portable N gauge and 009 layouts at various stages of development. The society uses the meeting room in the centre for their weekly club meetings.+This meeting is Kindly hosted by the The Bassetlaw (North Notts) Railway Society at their clubrooms on Retford Railway Station.
  
-Normally it is not possible to hire the meeting room at weekends, as there are regular weekly meetings on Saturdays and Sundays by a language class and a dance school.+Thanks to MERG and Bassetlaw Railway Society member Julian Pratt for arranging the venue for us.
  
-However, neither of these organisations are meeting on Easter Saturday 20th Aprilso we have been able to hire the room.+The Bassetlaw Railway Society are not charging us for the use of the roombut we will ask for a donation of £2 per head to cover the cost of teas & coffees and biscuits, and make a donation to the Society.
  
-Collection can be arranged from Wellingborough station for those who would like to come by train.+Access is step free, but the entry door to the clubrooms is probably not wide enough for a powered wheelchair.
  
-We will ask for a donation of £2.50 per head to cover the room hire, and £1 each in the pot to cover teas/coffees biscuits etcfor the day. Any excess over the costs will be donated to KMRS.+For those coming by train, there are reasonable arrivals from east (9:50)west (9:20) and north (9:38)From the south, there is one from Peterborough and Newark arriving at (8:45) and one from Kings Cross and Grantham arriving at (8:51), so you will be waiting a while before the meeting starts, but as railway enthusiasts you can of course enjoy watching the trains pass by during your wait:)
  
-There is a Sainsbury's with a cafe less than 5 minutes drive awayand local convenience store about 350yds away, or bring your own packed lunch.+Parking is now: £6.25 at the station, £4.95 at [[https://victoriaroadcarpark.com]] or £4 at Cobwell Road, DN22 7DD [[https://parkanddonate.co.uk]], 3 mins walk.

 + 
 +There is no Wi-Fi at the venue, so a Zoom connection will not be possible. If presenters need to access something online, we may be able to use mobile phone hotspots, 4G coverage permitting. 
 + 
 +More details of parking and how to find the clubrooms will be included in your confirmation email when you book your place.

 +Regards,
  
-If you would like to come, please let us know as soon as possible. If you do decide at the last minute, it is still worth getting in touch as, with the longer distance that most have to travel, the numbers are usually less than more centrally located meetings.+Pete
  
-Most of you will know that Judi is our Kit Sales Manager. This is an opportunity to see the huge MERG kit operation, how Judi manages the stock, processes the orders and sends out all those kits. 
  
-Sutton on Sea is on the east coast of Lincolnshire between Skegness and Grimsby. Parking is available on street near the venue. We have scheduled this meeting before the start of the peak summer season. Once the school holidays start, from late July, parking becomes much more difficult and there will be long queues on all roads into the resort on a Saturday morning – so come and enjoy the seaside before the mad summer rush. 
  
-This venue is less convenient for arrival by train. The nearest railhead is Skegness which is at the end of a long branch line and is an hour round trip from Sutton. 
  
-Tea and Coffee will be available, lunch can be purchased from local fish and chip shops (which are open on a Sunday), or bring your own if you prefer.

-Due to when the venue is available, we are trying Sunday this time. The Pros are that members who have Saturday commitmentssuch as football fans or those working in retailmight be able to get along. The downside is that the local chip shop is not open on a Sunday, so you'll need to bring a packed lunch, and arriving by train might be more difficult due to Sunday services starting later than on a Saturday.+If we can get a Wi-Fi connection at the venue, we will have Zoom connection for the morning meetingfor those who cannot come in person. HoweverI understand we are reliant on the LNER hosted Wi-Fi at the station, so we don't yet know if this will be possible.
  
-Collection can be arranged from Syston station for those who would like to come by train.+Numbers will be limited to 20, to ensure reasonable separation. Mask wearing is now optional, please make your own choice. We would recommend that everyone takes a lateral flow test before coming.
