+Arrive from 7pm, sit down 7:30, finish by 10pm. Each of us contribute a £3 donation to our hosts.
+Meetings include some or all of the following:\\
+  * A presentation
+  * A session on a group project
+  * A practical workshop.
+</WRAP>
+==== Do you visit other Model Railways or hold workshops? ====
+<WRAP info round>
+We have visited the McKinley model railway in Bournemouth, and Pete Waterman's extensive layout.
+We have held one Saturday workshop so far, at Prospect park Reading. We were due to hold another early in 2020, but the Coronovirus stopped that. \\
+We periodically have Tuesday evening tutorials. For example we have had one on surface mount, Jeff Pike gave us a demonstration of his radio controlled 4mm road vehicles.
