Meccano Mornings 2026 (Day 1)

After the success of the Meccano Mornings at the Museum of Croydon in October 2025, we were invited back for the February 2026 half term.
We were there for the two Saturday mornings, with Brian Leach, Santiago Plicio and me attending. This time we were located on the ground floor so more likely to be seen by the public.
The first Saturday was very quiet, but interest from the public was a lot better than on the last one with probably a third or more of the 39 visitors actively building models. One or two parents had a go as well (see photo). It was good to see the local mayor this time. There’s no news of any further sessions, however.
