16^th October 2025	Leslie McCallister	"With Lance King in Ulster, Part 1. The Great Northern 1957-1965" The background to Leslie's talk is the Northern Island Government's statement in 1958 that it wished to close many of its railways, something that it achieved in 1965 with the closure of lines such as Lisburn-Antrim and Portadown-Derry, both of which are likely to feature this evening - and with steam operation!
20^th November 2025	Jeremy Harrison	"The Ken Nunn collection: After the Grouping - 1923-29" The 1923 Grouping, when most of the Railways of Great Britain were amalgamated into the 'Big Four' - the greatest reorganisation they had suffered in their first century, which was marked by the Railway Century Exhibition at Darlington in 1925. Jeremy's presentation looks at Britain's railways between 1923 and 1929, as the multitude of preceding companies were reorganised into the four systems with which most of us are familiar - a process which did not always go smoothly!
18^th December 2025	Peter Robins	"India Part 2" Peter will follow on from his earlier presentation, reciting further adventutres in India. India was always a wonderful but slightly frustrating country that was full of surprises - some good some not so. From five visits made between 1981 and 1996, both presentations include a variety of steam classes at work on broad and metre gauge and on a number of the charming narrow gauge lines at various locations. Industrial lines also feature as does steam over the border in Pakistan.
15^th January 2026	Jack Boskett	"From Railways to Royalty" Further details will follow soon
