AGM and Members Weekend
2011
The 2011 AGM will be at 14:30 on Saturday 15th October at Harmans Cross Village Hall (next to the station). All shareholders have been sent written notification. Shareholder driving/firing trips are scheduled for 12th, 13th and 14th October.
We will not have shareholder driving/firing sessions on 15th as a steam hauled train will be visiting the Swanage Railway. This is planned to arrive at Swanage behind 70013 Oliver Cromwell at 14:05 and leave behind 34067 Tangmere at 16:30.
If you're planning to come we recommend you book a B&B soon, as some are closed during October.
