After being cut off for forgetting a bill for the past few days I am now back on line, but not for long, as I will be off to Dartmoor again very soon!
What is needed this Saturday is a big show of faces at Okehampton Station, 4pm, the more the merrier!
Absentees will get their legs broken (Statement Copyright G. Gleaves, who, Ironically, will not be there!)
In all seriousness though, here is a big chance to get 1198 moved more to the forefront of the Dartmoor Rly's doings, which is what we are all about.
It is a volunteer's meeting, and will include the steam engine builders (4 or 5 members) and the Wine and Dine crew (about the same) and EMUPS (so far 15 potential members!)
New members can bring twenty quid with them and their details which will be sent on to the Eckington address, and will become members then and there.
I know there is a staff tour of bits of the LB&SCR on the day in question (Typical! Coventry really needs people on the 19th and there is ANOTHER poxy tour on the same day as well!), but it is possible to do the first part of the tour up to Victoria, arriving around midday, then jump on the tube round to Paddington and head off to Exeter, thus getting the best of both 'worlds'
Presumably something similar could be done on the 19th and Coventry? Perhaps something along these lines could be announced on the train PA?
I will be on 12 hour days on the 19th, but am 'not available for duty' on Sunday the 20th, so will be at Coventry then.
Regards to all
Albert
