For our October meeting we have a change of speaker owing to our holiday.

We now have a slide presentation from Hagley-based Alan Atkinson entitled Rails around the Cumbrian Coast. This is an area of Britain which we have never had a presentation on before, so it all sounds very interesting. Alan is a true railway enthusiast. He travels the UK photographing steam on the main line and the preservation scene. In his spare time, he also works on the Severn Valley Railway. So we are in for a very interesting evening exploring the Cumbrian coast and its railways. The meeting will be held on Wednesday, October 8, at St Godwald’s church hall, Aston Fields, doors open at 7.15 for a 7.45pm start. We have a book stall and refreshments also on the evening. For further details please contact Dave on 01527 873800 or Gordon on 01527 873609.
