Our club closes 31 march such a pity

Rugeley power station has now closed so we will loose our track then.

Our club has invited any clubs that would like to come and Run to come and join us.

We have had several so nice to see so many diffrent Loco.

Been running double headed with 20 plus adults riding if you go on our face book site you can see the Photo's.

Going to run my Black 5 in 5" this sunday with the Nottingham club should be good fun.

If you would like to see photo's have a look at Rugeley Power station society of model engineers we also put a lot on the 5" gauge site under John Dutton.

hope you all have some good steaming this year

Ron;

This is very sad news indeed. It looks like you have a nice track there. This must be very disheartening.

Are you going to find a new site, or move in with another society, or disband? Have you decided yet?

John.

Know nothing about them but there may be a Burton on Trent section. Not sure if they have grounds/track.

Sorry to hear that Ron, although I suppose its been inevitable since the decision to close down the power station.

How would the club feel about an invitation to forum members to come along one Sunday in March to give you a good send off and hopefully lift your spirits and enthusiasm to keep something going, even if it's a merger with another club?

There's a Wolverhampton club (track at Baggeridge Country Park I think) and a Black Country club - I think they meet at Oldbury but not sure if they are loco types :D

I'd come to a send off as I only live a few miles away :D

EDIT: I think there's still a Sutton Coldfield club too but you probably know all this already,

Hi Yes I have been to Sutton club also Burton Birmingham and Nottingham.

It would be good to have a big visit Neil is going to contact our club to see if we can arrange it.

Fingers crossed now thank you.

Its highly unlikely they would sell the land because of future development opportunities, however they may be able to offer the option of a fixed period lease whilst they makes future decisions on it.

The Comitee has asked all these questions but as yet they still looking into it such a good Track and so secure we just keep hoping Ron
