Update 2nd January 2021
We are sad to announce the death of John Hopkinson on January 2nd, quietly and peacefully at his care home.
He was a long-term and popular member of the TTRCA and very well known for his superb repaints of Trix models.
Tributes will be published in the next Gazette.
His son had provided information on http://repaints.hopkinson.net
Dave Norville adds: We are aware that John had a number of jobs 'in progress' for various customers,
so we will be identifying those and returning them to their owners in due course.
Update 3rd January 2021
From the Chairman, David O'Brien:
As you know, the TTRCA Committee cancelled the TTRCA UK meetings scheduled to take place in 2020.
The Virus situation is still too unpredictable to be able to hold the 2021 Middleton Cheney event in late March.
However, we are hoping that Colin Lindley's May event in Leicester will be held. Date to be confirmed.
I do expect to hold Gaydon International in September.
