If anybody is around the Ormskirk area in West Lancashire this weekend then there will be a couple of things going on in connection with the Community Rail Partnership to raise awareness of the local railway stations.

On Saturday 5th July at the Railway Tavern at Hoscar near Ormskirk there is an afternoon featuring an exhibition of Railwayana, a concert/singaround with Geoff Higginbottom, and myself and Chris Harvey doing our railway song hour plus anybody else who cares to attend. Geoff has to go at 1:50 as he has to catch the train to Southport to entertain them on the train and at Southport station.
This is from 12 till 4 and there will be a barbecue (inside or out depending on the weather!)

The address of the Railway Tavern is Hoscar Moss Road, Lathom, Lancashire, L40 4BQ. Tel 01704 892369

Email me - mark@markdowding.co.uk for more details about this one.

On Sunday 6th July there are similar events going on along the Ormskirk to Preston Line with Pete Rimmer and Kevin Bargen providing the entertainment on the trains.

Hopefully we'll see one or two of you there on Saturday.

Cheers
Mark
