Forthcoming meetings at 19.45 for 20.00. Venue until 15 April is the British Red Cross Society, Victoria Road (Map). From 20 May we will be at the Bourne End Community Centre.

18 March 2010 Geoff Plumb That was the year that was - 1965
An evening of steam memories from the archives of a freelance TV camera man and still photographer.
15 April 2010 Ron White South African Railways
Following his retirement from running Colour-Rail, Ron returns to show us some of his own slides of South Africa. Because he has been marketing other people's images for such a long time it is not well-known that Ron is himself an excellent and well-travelled photographer and an expert on South African steam. Indeed, the society's present Chairman and Webmaster had the benefit of invaluable advice from Ron when planning a trip to South Africa over thirty years ago. This will be a great evening of erudition and entertainment.
20 May 2010 Bill Davies On and off the footplate
An evening of tales from a railwayman with 42 years experience as a driver/motorman, mainly on the the Midland line out of St Pancras.
17 June 2010 Andy Savage Rebuilding the Welsh Highland
An update on the remarkable project to reinstate the Welsh Highland Railway from one of its leading volunteers.
15 July 2010 Mike Walker A beginner's guide to British Railway Signalling - Part 2
After his fascinating introduction to the subject last year, Mike returns to continue his explanation of British signalling practice.
