Wickham Park

Chuck Oakes, a member of our CT-G Scalers group was instrumental in including the RR feature in the garden. Our club built and donated a small shed shaped like a Covered Bridge to store the trains.In turn, the park has hosted one of our monthly club meetings for the past two years. Chuck is always looking for volunteers to help run the trains so please contact the park if you would like to help out. Bill Dressler
