16^th July 2026	Geoff Plumb	"That Was The Year That Was ~ 1972" We welcome back Geoff, who presented a snapshot of 1971 way back in 2024. Now Geoff looks at 1972, with many days out around and about, including UK scenes in Brighton, Bristol and the London area, among others. West Germany features quite strongly, and the main event sees a visit to South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique for a feast of steam, in repose and in action!
20^th August 2026	Mike Lamport	"Railway2000 in Retrospect" Mike Lamport, Heritage Advisor and Railway 200 Steering Group member, will be showcasing some of the hundreds of events and activities that took place nationwide, and worldwide, during the 18 months of celebrations marking the bicentenary of the modern railway which began with the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in September 1825.
17^th September 2026	Jeremy Harrison	"Part 2 of 'Railways before the War - that's the Great War'" A presentation of Black and White images, drawn from the Ken Nunn collection and scanned from glass plates, illustrating railways in Britain before the Great War. Tonight's is the second of three parts, starting with a few images from before the Great Boer War (as it was known at the time), and then featuring Eastern England, Scotland and Ireland. The Ken Nunn collection was acquired by the LCGB after Ken's death, and although it has now been transferred to the NRM, 'showing rights' to the scanned images were retained, and Jeremy Harrison is making this presentation wearing his LCGB hat
15^th October 2026	Don Woodworth	"Scenic Highlights of the USA" Following Col. Don Woodworth's excellent presentation from his home in Illinois, USA in May 2025 we welcome him back this month to give a further talk. More details to follow
