On a sunny and very warm Saturday 7 July, Bromsgrove Society of Model Engineers held their 'Diesel Gala'.   Several Rugeley SME members attended this well organised and most enjoyable day with their 'Diesel Outline' 5" gauge model locomotives.   Bromsgrove have an excellent raised level, well landscaped, in part steeply graded track in the grounds of the Avoncroft Museum of Historic Buildings    . . .  http://www.avoncroft.org.uk/

The Bromsgrove members and their wives made us very welcome and we enjoyed unlimited 'cuppas' and a very nice lunch.  Several of our members are planning to return to Bromsgrove SME in September for their Open Day on Saturday 8 September.  Further information on the society can be found on thier website  . . . .   www.bromsgroveme.co.uk/
