Network SouthEast Railway Society Finmere Gala 2017

[godfreycomplex]

Hello all - bit of a shameless plug here; if I may be so bold
The Network SouthEast Railway Society are holding a gala at Finmere (near Bicester; on the old Great Central Railway route) on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th August; with kind permission of site owners C.O.V.E.S.
This is an excellent opportunity to ride aboard the sole surviving Phase One Class 421 1753 working with ED 73130; together with some other surprises along the way. Refreshments will be available from the BIG buffet (it's the buffet car from a 4-BIG; the buffet itself is normal size) over the weekend; with ample parking and a bus service from Bicester North station (payment by donations)
Tickets are £12 for an adult and £6 for a child; if you are not a society member tickets are by postal application only and are limited to 150 per day; details are available here -
http://www.nsers.org/events.html
Ticket applications must be made by the 15th of July
A nice easy day out within easy reach of London and the M40 - well received in the two previous years we've run it; hope to see you there

Accepting online payments would be useful for the future - cheques and SAEs are dying out.

Seems the most appropriate way given that NSE existed in the 1980s/90s

Do they accept Access cards?

I attended this event last year - worth going to see all the NSE stuff they have as well as the collection of EMUs. If you're after mileage off the 73 though, be warned that you need to do 4 round trips to clear it for a mile, unless the line has been extended!
