Sunday 31st August: Trinity 11

This weekend is the last weekend of the Summer holidays, which means we have been hosting a Model Railway Exhibition as usual. I enjoy talking to the visitors as they walk round, catching up with regulars and meeting new people. It certainly felt like we had a lot of people come today.

Thank you to Stuart Robinson, the overall organiser of these exhibitions, the exhibitors, the caterers and helpers, and those who welcome people on the door. We were pleased to be visited by the Mayor of Reigate and Banstead, Councillor Rich Michalowski during the day to meet both visitors and exhibitors.

I am heading back to help tidy up now, and look forward to seeing those of you who can come to the services tomorrow,

Tim
