Llangollen autumn gala is now the weekend after. So the 13-15th October.

 

Crewe Heritage Centre is having a 30th anniversary celebration the weekend of July 22-23.

2017 could be a big year for anniversaries it appears.

 

Can someone pin this post to the top.

 

Hi. You have deleted the Llangollen autumn steam gala In October but not put it back in for the 13-15th October. Cheers Gav

The two main enthusiast-orientated events at Apedale this year will be:-

May 13 & 14 - Stanhope Steam Gala - celebrating the centenary of our flagship loco, Kerr Stuart 2395 "Stanhope". We will be announcing visiting locos as they are confirmed (rather than announcing the wish list and then apologising later...).

October 7 & 8 is a new event for us - "Diesel Delights" which will show case our rather large IC loco fleet. We are planning to allow some of these veterans to haul passenger trains for this one weekend only, but will confirm details later in the year.

As ever, full details will be announced at www.avlr.org.uk and our Facebook page.
