 Although weathering is not really a MERG/Electronics subject, it is included here because it is one of this series of courses being offered at Rushden. It is being offered simply because lots of people want it, and it always gets overbooked when offered at Missenden.
+This course is open to anyone, you don't have to be a MERG member to attend.
 Your course tutor will be weathering and airbrush guru Mick Bonwick, well known from the Missenden Abbey Railway Modellers weekends and Pendon Museum workshops. Mick is planning to retire from tutoring at the end of this year, so grab this chance to benefit from Mick's experience and skills as a tutor, whilst you still can.
