I WAS delighted to see trainspotters in the Oxford Mail on August 31. It brought back many memories of those early days of Oxford and District Model Railway Club.

The club is still active today, albeit with fewer members, and those of us remaining from the year of your picture are, of course, just a little older.

No longer do we hold shows at Oxford Town Hall, but readers may be interested to come to the club’s open afternoon, on Saturday, at the United Reformed Church, Collinwood Road, Risinghurst, where members will be pleased to welcome friends old and new to view some of the club’s current modelling projects.

Admission is free – so, too, are the tea and chat!
