JOHN AND MARY HEY...
BIG JOHN’S TRAINS
SORRY folks... we will not be at the WINTER MEET at ROSS-ON-WYE; not that we would not like to be, but because we and other traders from the Midlands and North have not been invited.
We cannot understand why the CYDER BELT DIVISION and in particular ROD WELCH feel that the people from the WEST of the Country would not find it of interest to have TRADERS from the MIDLANDS AND THE NORTH at the WINTER MEET. We feel that this sort of discrimination is not good for the BRITISH REGION, and deplore it, as we understand do most of the membership. If you wish the Region to be broken up into NO GO areas, well that is up to you the MEMBERS. Feel free to pass on your feelings to ROD WELCH and the leadership of the CYDER BELT DIVISION and of course the BOD.
Mary and I will of course be at all our usual Division meets and the other Region meets through out 2002, and of course we look forward to seeing you at DERBY in April, either on the NMRA stand, or most certainly somewhere in the hall.
MAY YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
