Although our 2021 Expo was cancelled, the raffle was not as a few tickets had already been sold. The results of the draw were:
- First prize. Hornby Flying Scotsman train set, Chris Leech
- Second prize. Ozito 240V twin cutter, Col Rough
- Third prize. Wooden ride-on train, and 95 piece wooden train set, Chris Leech
We would like to thank all of those from the other clubs and public who supported us by buying some raffle ticktes. We made a small profit from the raffle, which overall meant we roughly broke even following cancellation of the 2021 Expo.
For those who are wondering, Chris, who is not a club member, purchased a large number of tickets to help the club overcome our potentail losses. Not only is he a great guy, but also lucky!
Check out a video of a run on the club G Scale layout with Quentin's live steamer and train of Gabby's.
