I nearly came last Saturday but fortunately visited the website to check the opening time before deciding which train to catch.

Hi John, 

 

I'm glad you did check.

 

Generally we always try to avoid the Swanage Diesel Gala and Beer Festival so our regular slot is always the weekend after that event. 

 

Hope to see you this weekend. 

 

Thanks,

 

Josh.

Think I am right in saying that Saturday is the 19th and Sunday the 20th.

 

But then I missed a medical appointment this morning....

[PaulRhB]

Tarrant Valley is 009 too

I'll pop down before work for a couple of hours

Hi Joseph, 

 

Yes, you are correct and the amendment has now been made. That will teach me not to do things in a rush. 

 

Hope to see you there.

The Salisbury Reds R3 only runs on SUNDAYS - the service is hourly.

 

Hi Nigel, 

 

Yes, you are correct but the PR3 runs on Saturdays. 

 

Thanks, 

 

Josh.

I've just got back from here a very good show and to be recommended highly.

A high standard of exhibits, especially San Maria Gandia and lots of peoples

to chat to.

Excellent sandwiches and cakes too, but unfortunately no bacon butties.

[PaulRhB]

Yes busy too and still plenty of parking along the road outside Good show again

[Stentor]

An excellent show, well run and very entertaining.

The Tarrant Valley line was a sight to see and I was completely taken in by the back story, even planning my own trip to see what was left in the 12” to the foot world.

Thanks to all the exhibitors, traders and the organisers for all their hard work.

Hi all at the Salisbury & South Wilts Railway Society.

 

I would just like to say a big thank you for your hospitality over this weekend.

 

We really enjoyed ourselves, the catering was out of this world the cake would be worth a visit on it's own!! (We polished off 6 slices over the 2 days!!)

 

Hope to see you all in the future.

 

All the best
