Carefully avoid showing the old shed as a car park.  Some of our timetable meetings have taken part in that old boardroom - must chase up to see if those groups are meeting in some way in the near future.

I really SHOULD have checked my email more carefully as I swapped to a new laptop ... no need to chase up because I have the invite (thanks to the members who nudged me in the right direction).     Separate thread starting in Transport Scholars ... members who have not joined that more technical board (i.e. if th elk does not work for you) ... please message me or "like" this post and I will add you in.

We are an independent forum, provided and run by customers of Great Western Railway, for customers of Great Western Railway and we welcome railway professionals as members too, in either a personal or official capacity. Views expressed in posts are not necessarily the views of the operators of the forum.

As well as posting messages onto existing threads, and starting new subjects, members can communicate with each other through personal messages if they wish. And once members have made a certain number of posts, they will automatically be admitted to the "frequent posters club", where subjects not-for-public-domain are discussed; anything from the occasional rant to meetups we may be having ...
