 Congratulations to Steve Eaton for winning 2024 IMLEC (for the umpteenth time) held at Southport MES. also to all Chesterfield members who attended and flew the flag.

 The Garden Railway is still closed until further notice for repair and refurbishment work.

 Open Weekend 7th/8th. September, Public running. The weekend went well, drizzly and damp Saturday, heavy rain Sunday morning but cleared up at 11am. and turned out to be a sunny day. The weather didn't deter our visiting club members, Alan James, Glyn and George Winsall from Rugby, who ran on our raised track, and Frank Abbott from Birmingham, who graced the ground level track. And a big thank you to the public for turning out and supporting us. A good weekend was had by all, and thank you to all our members who helped and made the event run smooth, and not forgetting our catering staff, both in the clubroom and members tea hut, who kept everyone fed and watered.
