NEW EVENT, at Boiler Test Dates
A call for engine owner / volunteers to act as tutors / providers of Steam Engine hardware & also to help show potential trainees how to fire, drive, and generally look after these lovely pieces of equipment.

Boiler Test Dates this Year will be held at the Longford Village Hall, from 8:30am onwards, Tea, Coffee, Toilet facilities, see calendar.
NOTE! PLEASE VOLUNTEER to help Longford Village Hall committee with their Diamond Jubilee event on the 4th June by offering to take your Engine, plenty of space for a run around on smooth surface, and a good crowd to see your engine on show. Let Sandra know if you are willing to help. This will be a real PR exercise for our Society if we get a few engines along to support this event. The Longford Village Hall have really helped us find a very suitable venue for our meetings. Please join in.

We need to know if YOU will help as a Volunteer engine owner. PLUS a call for trainee engine drivers to participate. If you can help or would like a friendly hour of tuition on an engine please get in touch ASAP.

Obviously all engines must be insured and have an up to date boiler ticket, just as at any other event.
This event is only open to MSRVS members. Chris Stubbings will be acting as co-ordinator so his details can be used as a contact.

Note the Boiler Test Dates have been set. An additional Date has been added this coming year, in OCT to help those who need more time to prepare engines for the following season, this is a great advantage, please ensure you support it.

If you have any pictures or news of events you would like to publicise please get in touch with me. Chris Ward.
