Here's an update from Richard with the link for the talk on Zoom and a payment link for your contribution to the costs of the event:   We hope that you are looking forward to joining us this coming Thursday the 10th September when we are joined once again by Jim McBride. Jim has in store for us a fascinating talk on the railways of Ballyshannon and the last days of steam in Northern Ireland - we are sure there will be some fascinating content and insight from Jim on both of these topics and I am very much looking forward to his talk. As usual, we have set up a payment link to contribute to branch costs, that can be found here: https://www.paypal.com/pool/9satRBOWhi?sr=accr, and the login link can be found here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82713772388?pwd=wlSH5iJK5nMpkr6nX0eabqHX3vV2Xc.1.

Myself and @Richard EH will be there. Other forum members would be very welcome - you don't need to be an IRRS member. The venue is the Waldorf - in central Manchester just a few minutes walk from Piccadilly Station and other main transport hubs. It's a decent pub with real ales and food, and a function room upstairs that we use.  And of course, an excellent talk about the railways of Ballyshannon!

And the issue may not just be the customs now a lot of suppliers have to conform with EU product traceability requirements and this can be difficult for smaller suppliers.
