CrustyOldGit from the North West of England

[CrustyOldGit]

Hi,

Thought I had better say hello, I've been sat 'on the side' for a few months and have now got a HengLong Sherman (very standard, metal tracks, some (non-authentic )paint work). It would be good to know of others in the North West, I met a couple of guys at Westhaughton about a year ago who had about 10 tanks between them, and I see from the forums that some chaps met up back in 2012, but it looks like that has fizzled out

Regards

Crusty

At next months meet we have Forgebeer Tanks attending !

Next meet is October 19th

Sorry for the double picture my iPad is a pain.
We are now an official RC tank club. we have liability insurance
Club president and treasurer committee members club bank account.everything you would expect from an organised RC club.
All the founding members are still with the club when it was first formed back in 2012 and the club is growing bigger every year!
