Sit back and enjoy a trip back in time as Bob shares with us his experiences and fabulous images, captured as he travels at home and abroad in search of the venerable steam locomotive.

Have a look at some of the wonderful photos that we are to enjoy at www.railpictures.net

Guess who's looking forward to this particular talk - and I wasn't involved in its booking!!

The Club Draw returns; it's a rollover and the prize pot is £12.50, it has to be won to-night.

Please bring your £1s and have a modest flutter.

Thank-you and Good Luck.

To-night's winner, of £21.50, was Ian Newton; fresh draw next week.

Catherine were you so exited you had a stutter

No Margaret, just impatient - I thought I hadn't pressed <save>; I had, it was just on a go slow. Then I couldn't delete it.

You are doing a good job thanks, keep it up one of these days I will win 

Have I missed something? as I can not find the critera for entering the Print Annual

I notice that in the Annual Competition rules it states

3.3 There will be one Section only to include everyone. Only PDI and Prints not entered in a previous Annual Competition or Exhibition will be eligible.

 

Are we allowed to enter prints in the Annual Competition that we have already used in THIS year's Annual Exhibition?

Yes, as the Annual Exhibition and Annual Competitions are now completely unrelated. We may need to make a small revision to the rules to clarify this point. It's nice to know that someone actually reads them though!

Can we enter a Mono print in this years annual that was in colour or the PDI section last year and how many prints can we enter?

Thanks Bob, I enjoyed to-night's show. A4s, Duchesses etc; my kind of subject matter. I thought you might have had a bit more UK industrial steam action.

Ever been to the Isle of Man? The Beyer Peacocks are still doing the job they were built to do, on the line they were designed for. And the Manx Northern's Dubs gives a bit of variety. Then you've also got the MER , SMR and Douglas Horse Trams for tram action.
