Lincolnshire Meet For May

Recommended Posts

Obviously Stoneleigh will be the main meeting for May, but that leaves us 3 weeks before the end of the month, hopefully with good weather.

 

It's time we had a meeting in the South, so I propose Saturday 19th May, and that we go to the Nene Valley Railway station at Wansford ( It obviously has plenty to look around (I actually learnt to drive a steam train there a couple of years ago) has a picnic area and a cafe.

 

Obviously weather dependent, so this is just something to pencil in. I'll go into greater detail nearer the date,

 

So far I have interest from:

 

1. Me

2. Nigel & Helen (niduncan)

3. Andy (AndyW)

 

if anyone else fancies it let me know.

I've just been gazumped for baby-sitting duties on Saturday, but we have all agreed that, as we are all retired, we can move it to Friday (18th), which means Derek can come as well (Apologies to Mo and Helen, who have to work, this will have to be a boys-only event :) ). Although Friday is a 'non-running' day we can still look around the static exhibits and the cafe is still open and we shouldn't have too much trouble parking. I suggest we meet up at 11:00.

 

The Postcode is PE8 6LR and it's well signposted off the A1. There are 2 places to park. The one circled in red only has enough room for about 6 cars so that is unlikely. But the one circled in green has a lot more room. First one there can decide.

Well, that was a cracking day. Perfect weather, lovely drive there and back for all of us. Derek bought an SME (Subject Matter Expert) and we spent a few hours talking trains instead of cars. Made a nice change. It was a non-running day so we almost had the place to ourselves to wander around the exhibits. Topped up with a leisurely lunch in the cafe. Thank also to Andy and Nigel for their support.
