Mike Clarke, who is the organiser of the very popular North Midlands Group and arranges all the meetings and photo-outings, would like to invite everyone to meet at the wartime event taking place at the Quorn and Woodhouse Railway Station on Saturday, 14th June. The station itself has been beautifully restored to reflect the 1940s, and the event will provide many unique photographic opportunities as the 1940s come alive with an evocative commemoration of World War II, with vintage flypasts, mock battles, hundreds of re-enactors and the dance music of times gone by.
The station is located on the edge of the village of Quorn, which lies within the Charnwood countryside, close to the A6 between Loughborough and Leicester. The postcode for the station is LE12 8AG. The website – www.gcrailway.co.uk – will provide further details.
Meeting Place:
The new Station Cafe (Butler-Henderson)
Meeting Time
10.00 – 10.30 a.m.
Anticipated finish time:
3.00 – 4.00 p.m., although obviously you can leave whenever you wish.
Booking: IMPORTANT
