August Meeting 2018

Hey hey, last night's meeting followed a slightly different agenda than usual with the theme/topic being discussed first prior to the usual bring and shows. The topic being a discussion on the viability of the AMRA WA S scale SIG building and displaying an exhibition layout for next year's exhibition. From this discussion, a small committee was formed and more details of developments from this committee will follow shortly (WATCH THIS SPACE!).

Bring and show revealed some impressive work from several members of the group, even inspiring many others to get to work on other projects (including this writer!). Below are the usual photos and captions from the evening. This was followed up by some slides of the old Fremantle yards and wharfs which finished up the evening.
