The November meeting will be at my home, 19 Chivers Street Hallett Cove, on Saturday, 2nd November 2024.
The entertainment will include video by Roland Earl taken June-Sept 2024 in England, France, Germany, Switzerland and Portugal.
If you wish to attend this meeting, please ring me on (08) 8186 1601 at least a day before the meeting.

The December meeting and barbecue will be at Michael Searle's home, 43 Lloyd Street Saint Marys, on Saturday, 14th December 2024, starting at 16:00 hours.
You should bring meat, drink and a chair. The society will provide salad and dessert. The barbecue will be followed by an evening of entertainment commencing around 20:00 hours. During the evening, supper will be provided, for which the usual $5 payment is requested.
We will be stepping away from the usual video viewing and going back to the good old Super 8 silent film format.
Thanks to Mick Kelly, we will see past and present BCSSA / TESSA folk on tours back as far as 1977 (47 yrs ago)!
Michael will also include S.A. rail in the mix, for those not all that much into buses.
If you wish to attend this barbecue or meeting or both, please ring Michael on (08) 8276 1342 at least a day before the meeting.

Secretary
