London Meetings
Regular meetings are held in London on trolleybus operation and history. Non-members are sure of a friendly welcome. Refreshments are available. Admission is £3.00 cash.
Meetings are held at the premises of The Model Railway Club, 4 Calshot Street, London N1 (off Pentonville Road - nearest Underground station King’s Cross), normally on the third Wednesday of each month. We are having a Summer break with no meetings in August and September. Please press the bell to gain entry.
Traditionally our meetings have been held in the evenings but we have been experimenting with afternoon meetings during the winter period. We have now decided that all meetings throughout the year will be in the afternoon, starting at 14:30. We believe that will encourage more people to attend and assist those travelling longer distances. It might also attract new speakers. Our meetings organiser is John Parkin – 020 8773 0048 at:-
