Introducing our first in-person meeting in quite some time!

When: From 2024-05-11T18:00:00Z until 2024-05-11T21:30:00Z
Where: Alton Railway Station
What: :steam_locomotive::railway_car::railway_car::railway_car::railway_car: :beer: :wine_glass: :curry: :taco:

A somewhat traditional social gathering we haven’t done for a few years. The Real Ale Train is an old steam train pulling carriages in which people socialise and consume beer and optionally food. The ale (and hot food) can be purchased and consumed onboard or pre-ordered in advance.

The train goes back and forth on the Watercress line - a registered charity raising money to keep the line running.

Hey folks, the event isn’t that far away and just wondering who’s coming along? In the past we’ve met up before hand for some food, ( you can get food on the train) but some folks want something more substantial and I was going to book a table depending on numbers at the local pub near the train station in Farnham.

Who’s bought their tickets? T-45 days :smiley:

Got my ticket. For those who can’t make it, we’ll take photos, and maybe video.
