January Meeting... - Thursday, January 07, 2010Happy New Year Utah Garden Railway Society
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays. I sure did and they seemed to fly by. As I mentioned before Christmas, our club has acquired eleven additional modules. I had hoped to work on the modules to integrate them in with the rest of the club set-up, but just as my holiday break started, my only sister contacted me and said they would be staying with their 8 children the week between Christmas and New Years, so I had to postpone work on the modules.
My plan now is to work on the modules this Friday and Saturday (Jan. 8th and 9th) and next Saturday (Jan 16). The effort will entail building end caps, modify and verify table heights, test and confirm track electrical continuity, and build two filler stub modules to fill the space when setting up modules in a "U" shape or "L" shape configuration.
On January 22 & 23 we are scheduled to participate in the Ophir, Tintic and Western Model Railroad Show at Thanksgiving Point just over the county line in the north end of Utah county off I-15.
I'd like to start set-up on Friday (Jan 22) at 1:00PM. The show opens at 4:00PM and closes at 9:00PM. On Saturday (Jan 23) the show goes from 10:00AM to 6:00PM with tear down following. Last year we had a lot of fun at this show and the OT&W gang are great hosts. I realize I've reeled off a lot activity here but any help at the shows or assistance at my home in West Haven preparing the modules would be appreciated.
We are confirmed to participate in the Great Train Show to be held at the South Town Expo Center on Feb. 5-7. Dave Fulghum has volunteered to take the point on that show. As more iformation becomes available in the weeks prior to the Great Train Expo, Dave will be communincating to the club with regards to set-up times and manpower needs.
As a final item, it's a new year and 2010 dues ($25.00) are do. Make a check out to UGRS and send it to Ralph Osborne, 7918 S. 2175 E., South Weber, UT. 84405, or give it to me at the railroad show.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Lack of Novenber Meeting.... - Wednesday, November 18, 2009Hi all..
With the Wasatch Rails train show just behind us, Thanksgiving looming just ahead and more than a few of us with prior obligations this weekend, we will forgo a UGRS meeting this month. We'll keep you posted on December activities in a few weeks.
So again ~ NO NOVEMBER MEETING ~.
Have a Happy Turkey Day everyone. You all have my permission to over-eat, I know I will.
Happy Thanksgiving:
Dave Fulghum
