We can promise you an informed and entertaining evening, with interesting illustrations, even if you are not a trainspotter! The talk is on Wednesday 18 April, in the Victory Hall, and will be preceded by the AGM. There are still some outstanding subscriptions, and we would be grateful if they could be paid at the meeting (if not before), as it is our last talk until September. The evening commences at 8pm SHARP. Usual entry of £1 for members and £3 for visitors, to include refreshment.
