June 2017 Meeting
Report from our Autumn 2017 Newsletter
Saturday 17 June 2017
Falconwood Community Centre
Falconwood
This was one of our informal quarterly meetings where our members showed off their latest Meccano creations.
At around 2:00pm we had a short committee meeting, followed by the Model Tour in which members were invited to give a short talk about their models — in particular their entries for the Secretary’s Challenge!
The Castles, Forts and Siege Engines Secretary’s Challenge
This Challenge was an idea received from Chris Fry.
Our members could build a complete or part model of a castle or its defences — motte and bailey, drawbridge and portcullis etc. Or they could try siege engines such as siege towers, trebuchet or battering ram.
