HI bill. Glad to hear that you have donated items to the Mens Shed & ME club in your area. I am sure that you have gained some satisfaction that all your treasures will be put to good use in helping yourself and others to still have a connection to our hobby. All the best in your retirement. Please do not abandon your links with the forum as I am sure you still have much to offer.

best regards

I hope you and your father can find appreciative new owners for all of it.

I'd be interested for a start, and I don't live too desperately far from Taunton.

There are several model-engineering clubs within a sensible radius, you could contact.

In fact we can start on your doorstep: Taunton & District Society of Model & Experimental Engineers.

Others in no special order are:

West Huntspill MES,

Westland & Yeovil District MES,

East Somerset Society of Model & Experimental Engineers (based in the Royal Bath & West Showground),

Exeter & District MES,

Weymouth & District MES.
