I attended the Bassetlaw Railway Societies Annual Model Railway Exhibition yesterday for the first time in a few years. While I was there, I got speaking to a couple of members of the Gresley Society Trust. After talking about steam locos for a bit, they asked me if I was in any societies, and I never have been, so I thought I'd join as I've always loved Gresley steam locomotives.
There doesn't seem to be much about the various societies on here so I thought i'd ask what societies you are a member of?
Also, how active are you in the societies? The Gresley Society have a meeting in March where an ex Top Shed fireman is going to speak, but I found out after I joined that it is on a weekday which is no use to me as I'm now in full time employment and study at University one day per week . Hopefully, some meetings will fall on weekends so I can attend as it will be fascinating to hear stories of the days of steam, particularly as I was born many years after the end of steam on BR.
