517 forum posts 57 photos	Hi Malc, Although from Derby, I'm a member of North West Leicestershire SME based at the Hermitage Leisure centre at Whitwick, Coalville, not too far from you. Basically a bunch of 'nutters' but we have a laugh and don't take things too seriously Working day is a Thursday when we get together and drink tea, have a natter, and occasionally actually do some work! We have a public running day the third Sunday in the month, and 'specials' such as an annual traction engine rally, enthusiasts day, trips, etc. The members have a wide range of interests from stationary engines to locos, traction engines etc. We have a 1300' raised track with 2½". 3½" and 5" gauges, and a ground level 5" gauge track. Car park and a field next door for running traction engines etc. John
