B17 SLT were represented at the above three-day Heritage Railway events with a sales stand at each. Again, as with other events this year, the weather was to prove a factor - Llangollen where Brian Hall and Richard Allsopp were based, felt the full force of Storm Callum.
On Friday Brian Hall and myself abandoned any thoughts of setting up the stand and instead elected to travel on the railway. Saturday, though still wet, was less windy and we were able to find a relatively dry pitch under the station awning. Similarly at Sheringham, Richard Taylor writes: The NNR event only suffered from the very strong winds - this did mean that trying to erect the gazebo on our usual platform 2 location was out of the question.
