Welcome to the Marlow & District Railway Society
Founded in 1977, we are a group of railway enthusiasts based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and with members from the surrounding districts, including High Wycombe, Bourne End, Henley, Maidenhead and Twyford. Our activities include regular monthly meetings at the British Red Cross Society in Marlow, and outings to places of railway interest (see the club gallery pages for some examples). We also publish our own illustrated magazine The Marlow Donkey. Meetings are open to non-members, but why not join us?
Our next meeting is on Thursday 18 February when Adrian Palmer will give us an illustrated talk about 'Preserved and Modern Traction in Europe from 2005'. This will follow our AGM.
- New venue for society meetings: The imminent sale of our current meeting venue, the Red Cross Hall, means that we are moving with effect from the May meeting. Our new home is the Bourne End Community Centre which, although meaning a move from Marlow, gives us an excellent venue at a good location adjacent to a car park (free in the evenings) and close to Bourne End station. More details, including a map, will be posted nearer the time of the move.
- Dave Theobald 1947-2010: The society has begun the new year with the sad news that our member Dave Theobald has died suddenly of a heart attack. This occurred while on a railtour of Eritrea. His presence will be greatly missed and we send our condolences to his widow Barbara and his family. In the picture above, Dave is seen enjoying the party mood on 5 December during the return journey of the society's trip to Shrewsbury and Wrexham.
