On Thursday 11th June we will have a day out & trip on the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. We are travelling on a Steam Train through beautiful Cotswold scenery and wonderful views of the Malvern Hills and beyond. The stations on route with a start at Toddington include Broadway, Hayles Abbey Hall, Gotherington, Winchcombe and Cheltenham Racecourse. A light buffet will be provided en route and we will have the benefit of a good friend of our Probus Group to talk us through the history of the GWSR Railway and to answer any questions.
Partners/Friends are of course welcome on our events. More details to follow as we get closer to this wonderful day out. For more information on the Railway see www.gwsr.com
