The Bundanoon Mechanics Institute visit went very well, lots of deep meaningful discussions and swapping of ideas.
Plan to do it again later this year, with a promise that my Hunslet 5" gauge loco will be in steam.
Great sausages from Luddenham, crunchy rolls, coleslaw and home-made green salad satisfied all.
Even managed to clean up my shed (sort-of) for the visit.
The first lunch for 2019 will be at St Marys L.C. this Tuesday, 8Jan19.

Our get-together this month is Tuesday 9Jul19 at St Marys L.C.
My attendance is subject to being sufficiently recovered (ie not infectious) from a good dose of cold/flu acquired last week during a visit to Adelaide (to see "The Book of Mormon").
Hope to see you there,
John

We have all had quality time in our workshops for the last year.
Now is the time to get together for "show & tell", to chew the fat and to get back to a more normal routine.
Last month was at my house, but now time to venture out.
As Penrith RSL and St Marys L.C. buffets are closed Monday and Tuesday, the coming lunch is scheduled for the Henry Lawson Club in Werrington, Tuesday 8th June at 1200 h.
Menu is a la carte with a good range of typical club food.
One subject to be discussed is whether to change the regular arrangement, 2nd Tuesday of month at a buffet, to something else.
All welcomed.
Interests are varied - metalwork, building trains, cars, boats or just an interest.
If you would like to attend, PM with a phone number and I will call you.
Keep well,
John.

Well, more quality time in the workshop !
The December lunch will be Tuesday 14Dec21 at the Henry Lawson Club in Werrington.
No buffet, but they have a reasonable menu.
Club rule is you must be double vaxed.
If the weather is good, we may be outside.
Visitors always welcome.
PM me for my mobile number if you intend participating.
Keep well,
John.

The December lunch had 11 participants, seated outside in the barbecue area of the club.
Splendid isolation and virtually no background noise (important for those with hearing aids).
All participants said the food was Ok.
Two show-and-tell items:
- an amazing clock with re-cycled plastic gears (milk bottles) and intricately engraved brass decorations,
we all wonder what sort of pills the builder is on !
- new crankshaft for a two-cylinder steam launch,
anguish by the loco modellers present when they realized the 'quartering' was actually 180 degrees !
apparently much better balance and the boat crew will have easy access to the flywheel to assist the starting.
As the Penrith RSL still has its buffet closed on Tuesdays, and with a couple of reports of unsatisfactory food at the St Marys Leagues Club, we agreed to meet again at the Henry Lawson Club for lunch on Tuesday 11th January.
With the growth in Covid cases, I am of the opinion we miss the January date.
I will email the PDHM members closer to the date to get their opinions.
Keep well,
John.
Edit: I think I managed the 'thumb down' tag - don't know how to remove it.

I elected to avoid clubs during January.
But a few brave souls did participate in the January lunch.
In February I was cajoled into participating at the last minute and we numbered 7.
The March lunch is this coming Tuesday, 8Mar22, at the Henry Lawson Club in Werrington.
All are invited, contact me prior if you need directions.
Weather permitting, we will be in the outside courtyard.
We expect some members will be flood affected, and/or reluctant to drive in heavy rain with road flood/close issues.
Last time I checked, vaccinations are required for club entry.
I expect April will be somewhere else, hopefully in a club buffet (I like the sushi in the Penrith RSL).
Keep well,
John.
