There is going to be a talk by Peter Smith about Oxford's Bailey Bridge on the Thursday 8th February, 5.30 - 6.30 pm.
Event details: https://www.oxford.gov.uk/events/event/ ... eter_smith
Event Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/port-mea ... 35#tickets
As it is 15 minutes walk from home I am going, I am using this as a measure, because I hesitate to think how long it would take to drive and find a place to park! If any body is interested in joining me please do give me a PM or other shout.

By way of a follow up, it was a good talk with one or two extra bits of information coming out. Plus The REME Museum in Gillingham had lent a section or two of Model Bailey Bridge. which was good to see up close, and also to watch an extra section added in just three or four minutes, really impressive.

Is it OK these days to say “me too” without being misunderstood? Yes please, atlthough not sure when I’ll get to start my build. All the best and thanks. Stephen
