PROGRAMME FOR 2009 - EARLY INFORMATION

13th June, 2009 - Round the County, hosted by Belford Local History Society - this event was very successful.  It was well attended and the addresses by speakers enthusiastically received.   Leaflet distributed which guided members on a 'Village Trail' around Belford was considered to be especially helpful.

5th September, 2009 - One Day School - 'Railways of Northumberland'.

The very large number of members who attended this event, which was held in the centre of Newcastle upon Tyne, enjoyed a day of stimulating lectures.  Numerous comments have been made which express the enjoyment and extra insights gained into the development of the railways in the region.
