RPSI Orangefield Wednesday

[leslie10646]

Some of you will be aware that I've stayed on a few days to give a talk - so the risk of blowing my own trumpet - 

"With Lance King In Ireland - 1957 to 1970"

Wednesday 1^st April

Leslie McAllister pays tribute to his late friend Lance King who faithfully recorded, in colour, the last days of steam haulage in Ireland between 1958 and 1970. In this talk, Leslie will concentrate north of Dundalk on the lines of the former GNR and NCC. With many exquisite scenes seldom seen in public, it will be a fitting end to our meetings season.

This is one of the Belfast season of public meetings. It starts at 7:30pm and finishes by 10:00pm.

Parke Hall, Orangefield Presbyterian Church, Castlereagh Road, Belfast, BT5 6BH."

I can't say what the talk will be like, but the images are top class. From GNR steam in full flight, through the last SG3-hauled goods over the border to the Spoil Trains (which Lance took exquisite photos of).

Come along and remember to say hello, please.

Agreed - wonderful evening.  Highlights for me were the shots of Pomeroy & Dungannon.
