We have monthly talks on a wide range of transport-related matters. We call them our ‘Mutual Improvement Class (MIC)’ – a very old and venerable railway tradition of self-improvement.
The talks start at 14.00. There’s no admission charge but it’s important to let us know you’re coming as space is limited. Tea, coffee and biscuits available after the talk.
A recent talk was on the work of the Railway Benefit Fund. It was a fascinating account, touching on the history of the charity and the incredibly important work it does today. For more information go to: www.railwaybenefitfund.org.uk
We’re having a break from talks over the summer and instead having some trips. We had a brilliant outing to Garsdale in early July to join the Friends of the Settle-Carlisle Line celebrating 50 years since the station (and other stations along the S&C) were re-opened. More being planned….
NEXT TALK: Wednesday October 14th: The Irish Narrow Gauge – yesterday and today at 14.00.
