April updates
SOCIETY A.G.M.
To be held at the Ashover Parish Hall (S45 0BA) on Saturday May 21st with a 12:30 start for refreshments, which this year will precede the meeting. Please bring along any used inkjet printer cartridges you have lying around for re-cycling.
VISIT TO TALYLLYN RAILWAY
This was a successful and enjoyable event. Links to photograph taken on the day will appear in the gallery section of this website within the next week. Members who would like their photos of the day to be published on this website should contact the Publicity Officer.
Here we see the ALRS special charter taking water at Dolgoch station.
ALRS sales stand
The ALRS sales stand will be visiting a variety of events during 2011, starting with a visit to the re-opening of the EVR between Wirksworth and Duffield.
At present some of these dates are “unconfirmed” as the organisers have yet to allocate us space, or because we have not yet sufficient volunteers available to run the stall. If anybody is interested in helping us out (no experience necessary) please get in touch with Graham Ludlam (contact details in WTRE) as soon as possible.
Thank you.
