| Dawlish UK Study Tour 22-26 July 2010 The third Club Dawlish UK Study tour took place as advertised and was another great success. The Exeter panel box visit, courtesy of Network Rail, was most interesting and lasted nearly twice as long as scheduled. The group were entertained by Colin Marsden on the Saturday night after dinner in the pub. A full report and pictures will appear in the Bulletin and on the Outdoors section of this website in due course. |
Club Reunion
The Club Reunion will take place on Saturday
December 4th 2010 at the Directory of Social Change, 24 Stephenson
Way, near Euston station. Please note the change of venue from previous years; this is due to rising costs. The Reunion is expected to last from 10.00 to 17.00 which is an earlier finishing time than in the past. Details of the programme, guest speakers and the post-reunion entertainment will be announced in due course. |
Overseas Reunion Date reserved 22nd January 2011 We will be using a new venue |
CAN WE HAVE YOUR MEMORIES OF LCGB RAILTOURS You may have seen the recent references
on this website or, better still, have read the article in STEAM
DAYS for April covering the Club's East Devon Railtour of February
1965. Following on from this, we have been invited to submit to STEAM DAYS articles and photos of other major LCGB tours. A shortlist is shown below and I would ask you to send your memories, recollections and records of any of these trips. Combined with the reports in the Bulletin we hope to put together further articles for the magazine, which, hopefully may result in interest in the Club and, with luck, membership enquiries.
