22nd January was a busy day for the group, with AHU803 providing transport between the University of the West of England and Parkway Station for a model railway show, KLJ749 providing crash-gearbox training for a new member, and RM1363 out on a Routemaster driving experience for another enthusiast. A good number of members were also working on projects at the Group's base in Flowers Hill as it was another of our regular working days at which all members are welcome: a big thanks to all of you who came along to help.

At the Trustees' meeting last week, the Trustees agreed that Rob and Oliver Leighfield's ex-East Kent AEC Regent V towbus PFN865 would become part of the Group's collection of vehicles. A history of the vehicle will appear on the website shortly.

About 50 members came to the Group's New Year lunch on 15th January, at the Old Down Inn at Emborough. Transport was provided by KLJ749 this year.
