TWICKENHAM & DISTRICT MRC GOLDEN JUBILEE EXHIBITION

[steve W]

Twickenham & District MRC no longer holds regular exhibitions ( due to the high cost of venues in SW London), but 2011 sees T&DMRC celebrate its 50th Anniversary and so the club is to hold a special "one off" GOLDEN JUBILEE EXHIBITION on May 21/22.

 

At the exhibition the club will be selling a limited edition Dapol 8 plank wagon specially commissioned by the club in authentic TWICKENHAM COAL COMPANY livery.

 

The club is hoping to make contact with many ex-members as part of its celebrations. Any ex-members or others who remember the T&DMRC shows in the past are invited to contact the club on 01932 783253 or by email on teamyakima@hotmail.com . In particular the club is collating a club archive of articles, photos, videos etc of the club's old exhibitions, layouts, events etc.... anyone with any suitable memorabilia for our archive is kindly requested to contact the club with details.
