The plotz thickens

 
Regular readers may recall my multi-post report on the hitherto little known Teutonian invasion of Tinland.  My sources inform me that the campaign will continue over the coming weekend at Triples.  The photo which I reproduce by kind permission of Obst-Gen. Von Hotzenplotz himself shows the said gentleman(?) inspecting his pointy-helmeted hordes.
Volunteer gunners are sought at Triples for firing matchsticks at the enemy...

The power of the press

Just a quick post tonight.

As a result of the newspaper article (see Monday's post) we had a prospective new member show up at the Sheffield club tonight.  After some introductory chit-chat from a couple of members he was prevailed upon to take part in a game and subsequently sat in on another.  So if you're reading this Peter, welcome and we hope to see you at the weekend!

Worse by Bus

Work on the B-Type bus continued slowly at the weekend, and I now have a pretty good idea of what the 'B' stands for...
Anyway, on with the show.  In an effort to strengthen the rather delicate running gear I employed the ever-popular 'hacking up bits of balsa and pouring lots of PVA over them' approach.  Incidentally, the blue-clad lads in the background are the third regiment of Tratvian Cossacks - more on them soon.

The fiddly, warped and generally nasty stairwell required drastic measures...
