SUMMARY:Six Decades of the Settle & Carlisle
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by Michael Smyth. \nThis presentation covers the changing scene on the Settle and Carlisle from the 1960s to the present day.  It features the slow decline in traffic towards its planned closure\, refusal of closure\, and subsequent resurgence of traffic through to the present day. \nIllustrated by my own and unpublished images taken throughout this period capturing not just the trains but the scenic setting of this line in its ever changing and at time extreme weathers. \nMichael Smyth \nDoors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start to the presentation.

SUMMARY:Sugar\, Steam and Sunsets (Java)
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by David Longman. \nIn the early years of this century\, David Longman made a series of trips to photograph the remaining steam locomotives working on the narrow gauge sugar lines in Java.  Unwilling to join an organised group he travelled the length of the island by bus\, motorcycle and becak\, locating the various ‘pabrik gula’ and bringing back a snapshot not only of the railways but also the lives of the people of this Indonesian island.  Whilst there is now little or nothing left of these wonderful little railways\, as road transport has rendered them largely redundant\, David will be recalling the people he met\, the ‘Beast Of Tasik Madu’ and places his visited during his photographic wanderings. \nDoors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start. \nThere will be an extended interval break! (with Christmas “nibbles”)
