The Swanage Railway Trust
- Groups - Purbeck Railway Circle
 |
The Purbeck Railway Circle is the area group
for Swanage Railway Trust members in Dorset and the surrounding
area. Activities include
meetings of railway-oriented talks, slide and film shows and an
annual outing. The meetings also include an 'Update' on the
latest happenings on the Swanage Railway.
The Circle also publicises its activities in the 'Swanage Railway Magazine' but this website will always be the more up-to-date. If you would like to be placed on our email list so that we can remind you 10 days before each meeting, then please email the Secretary. Meetings are normally held on the 2nd or 3rd Friday evening of the month in Swanage or occasionally in Harman's Cross and are also open to non-members of the SRT, so members are encouraged to bring their friends along. There is no separate membership or subscription for the Circle for Trust members - just come along. Admission is free including tea/coffee and biscuits, but we do ask for a donation in aid of the Swanage Railway Trust. A raffle is held, often with attractive railway-oriented prizes. Please scroll down the page to see our meeting schedule, and please come along to one of our meetings to see what the Purbeck Railway Circle has to offer you. We look forward to seeing you there. If you have any requests or suggestions please let us have them.
