EVENTS 2025

The Garden Railway is still closed until further notice, for repair and refurbishment work.

Alas the end of an era, Janet and Ian and their catering team Lyn, Jean and Roger, hung up their aprons for the last time at this years New Years Day Arctic Run. A huge THANK YOU, THANK YOU and another THANK YOU, must be given for all the time, effort and organisation that Janet and her teams have put in over the past years, providing the members and public with a large and varied menu of butties, cakes, puddings, drinks etc. Banquets fit for kings. Who ever takes over has some very big boots to fill.

*PLEASE NOTE*. Due to the above, and lack of volunteers to take over, be prepared to bring your own food and drinks to future running days.

Boiler testing

Boiler Testing is on the first Saturday of each month. Testing limited to 10 boilers each time.

Please book your name, model type/description and test required on the boiler sheet in the clubhouse before the test day. Tests will be limited to TEN tests each test date, on a first come, first served basis. Because numbers are limited, please don't let anyone else down by not turning up. If you do need to cancel, please cross your name off the list promptly, or contact the boiler tester.

For pressure gauge tests and hydraulic tests, you need a 1/4" x 40 tpi male connector to fit the test pump.

Testing will commence at 11am. with cold tests, and steam tests no later than 1pm. Don't forget to bring your membership card and previous certificate.
