CORNWALL RAILWAY SOCIETY

  Indoor Meetings Programme: 2021

 Meetings are held at the Memorial Hall at Redruth Methodist Church. Redruth Methodist Church is easy to find - it is alongside the railway adjacent to the tunnel.  Exiting the station from the up side turn right.  There is free car parking in the evenings at Flower Pot car park just 100 yards away. Check out the location on Google Earth and use street view. There are quite good bus and train services from the station.

We meet in the Memorial Hall which is on the first floor of this imposing building. The entrance for the hall is around the back. Walk up the narrow pavement to the left of the building.

You will have walked up the narrow pavement alongside the road, entrance to the hall is through the white door seen in this view. Beyond the door a sloping passageway leads up to the Memorial Hall.

                         Indoor Meetings Programme: 2021
Due to the ongoing Corona virus, we had to cancel meetings in April and May 2020. We had hoped to meet again this September, but sadly there are still restrictions on meetings that make this impracticable. We are all disappointed to have lost almost a whole year of meetings, indoor and outdoor  In our provisional 2021 programme our speakers are mainly local we are most grateful to our local talent which we are sure will not disappoint you.  Everyone attending will have to leave contact details to allow Trace and Track'  and for the moment wear face masks.    We may have to limit numbers at indoor meetings due to 'Social Distancing' and we regret that refreshment facilities will not be available. We may have a short break but you will need to bring your own refreshments.  All members who have paid their subs for 2020/21 will be entitled to a free renewal for 2021/22, during which year we can only hope for a return to normality. The committee hopes that you will understand the reasons why we had to make the difficult decision to cancel meetings until January 2021. The magazine and website will continue as normal.

   Seasons Greetings from the Chairman
The year 2020 is one we will not forget for a long time and it is to be hoped that 2021 will bring a change of much better circumstances for us all.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the Cornwall Railway Society Committee, to wish all of our members and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy and peaceful New Year.
I look forward to seeing you again in September 2021 at our first indoor meeting at Redruth by which time our lives, hopefully, should have some semblance of normality.
Please take care and look after yourselves.
Best Wishes,
Dennis J. Flood.
Chairman
Cornwall Railway Society.
