Wartime in the Cotswolds
2015
The date has been fixed, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th April, and
final details are being arranged for 2015's nostalgic 1940s weekend at the
Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. Step back in time, pack up
your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.
Travel this beautiful heritage line between Cheltenham Race Course
Station and Toddington, stopping at Gotherington and Winchcombe on steam hauled
trains, (air raids permitting).
Attractions include military and civilian re-enactors, military
camps, ARP post, children's activities, air raid experience, a Sherman tank and
1940s style entertainment throughout the day.
All stations have catering and toilet facilities and there's the Flag
and Whistle cafe at Toddington. The Narrow Gauge Railway will be running on
both days at no extra charge. Dress in
1940s period costume or come as you are.
There will be a Saturday evening big band dance at Toddington Station,
at extra cost, with all your favourite 1940s tunes.
On Sunday there will be the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight
Spitfire fly past (subject to weather etc.)

I knew that the Broadway group were a dab hand at setting the clock back to the latter days of BR, but it seems that you can also set the clock forward too. Somehow you've contrived for this post to be dated tomorrow (25/3) as opposed to today (24/3). Did Dr Who stay on as one of your staff after his recent escapades in Greet tunnel?
Now about the lottery numbers this coming week.....
I do have the power........
