😷Lockdown 2021 continues, so no open days, no exhibitions, no fun. I've had my first Covid-19 vaccine jab which was fine, but with the 2nd vaccine dose not due for about another 10+ weeks what can we look forward to instead of being able to go out? There remains a lack of entertainment to look forward to, sport might continue behind closed doors but my enjoyment of modelling, railways, steam tours is still being denied with venues closed.
The Hillingdon Railway Modellers will be holding regular Zoom meetings with their members as well as their AGM which is due to be held end of February. Pleased to see they are still getting on with their superb work, as are the London Kings Cross based Model Railway Club who also are holding zoom meetings and lectures with guest speakers.

A few societies are using social media and you tube to try and deliver something to a waiting audience here are a couple of on line 'shows' coming up soon. I've been viewing some of the bigger shows from previous years on You Tube such as Warley, Rail Wells, and this from Weston Super Mare watch the coal tipper from about 3 mins in that's some modelling skill.
