The post exhibition meeting means unpacking and stowing away. The back-to-back board units were separated, checked for damage and put away. Everything else was consigned to its usual place.
The wooden frame unit (AA-BB) was assembled to form the base for the workshop centre table. As there was a minor delay when assembling the unit at Farnham, the legs were given additional markings to ensure it goes together smoothly next time.
Geoff offered an idea for the next project. The fixed uncoupling magnet at the end of the main platform (Fiddleyard end) had been causing trains to be split when not required, which annoyed him greatly. The station board was up-ended, the area assessed and the fixed magnet removed.

Geoff confirmed that there was space for a hinged unit and set about finding a spare. However, it was then noted that none of the styles made to date would fit in the location due to its close proximity to the board frame. A new unit needed to be designed and 3D printed.
