As a result of numerous requests we have been investigating the possibility of running another Real Ale Train rally during the summer.

I've met the Watercress Railway management today and they tell me that due to the popularity of these events the first available date would be the weekend of 28/07/07 if we can get our act together quickly so I need to know if there is sufficient interest to make a reservation.
For those of you who didn't manage to book last time, look

and in the photo gallery for details of our last trip.

The formula will be the same as last time with a max. of 15 M/Hs attending (including up to 2 RVs) but the cost will have to rise slightly to £30 per couple. This is still very reasonable as the ticket face value is £38 without charging for the camping. The Watercress Line also request that we drink a bit more next time as they had to dispose of nearly two barrels of ale last time (they didn't say how they disposed of them). Wink

Booking will be on a first come, first served basis but we will give priority to those members who expressed a wish to attend last time but were thwarted in the rush to book the available places.

Please indicate here if you would be interested in attending and have the dates free.

Ken, I'd love to, but I'll leave it to others this time (unless nobody books up, of course!).

Like the idea and the date is free, but like Mike those who couldn't make it the first time should head the queue.

Just missed it last time, so I think we're on the reserve list.

BTW We are 8.3 metres in case this is significant.

Would love to come if there's space

Excellent! All my favourite activities. Steam railways, beer and RV!
Please book us in for one of the RV spaces.

Hi

I wish I could say the same as Dave and Mike that I will give someone else a chance first as we attended last time.

The real reason we cannot attend is because on the 27th we are up in Liverpool photographing a footballer's wedding and on the 28th we are photographing 500 NCOs in Suffolk.

We really enjoyed the rally earlier in the year and would have loved a return visit
