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.

Jack

Boskett
"From Railways to Royalty"

Multi-award winning photographer Jack Boskett is set to captivate audiences with his upcoming presentation, "From Railways to Royalty." His extensive portfolio includes his experiences as an official photographer during the solemn occasion of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and the grandeur of King Charles III's Coronation. Surprisingly, Jack attributes his remarkable journey to his initial passion for railways. This seemingly unrelated interest served as the catalyst for his eventual career trajectory. And showcasing his extraordinary talent and unique perspective. Plus - Expect a lot of humour and bad jokes!
