RPSI Belfast Meetings 2026-27

[Patrick Davey]

Looking forward to being one of this year’s guest speakers in the season of Winter talks given by The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland, in the company of some highly esteemed members of this forum, including @Galteemore, @GNRi1959 and @leslie10646

On Wednesday November 11th I will be giving an updated version of a previous presentation which takes the form of a photographic tour of the Belfast & County Down Railway, showing trains, stations, bridges, signals and much more!  Full details on the attached poster.  Once again an excellent series of talks has been organised by Charles Friel.  Looking forward!!

And we're looking forward to YOUR BCDR talk to the IRRS London in January, Patrick.

It'll be on Zoom, so everyone of this site should be on-line for a record attendance that night.

I'll post the Zoom codes nearer the time!

Is it SAFE to release these codes to the folks here, Leslie?

I'll take a chance. If the Secret Service arrest me meanwhile, having read my stated intentions, I will be chairing the meeting from behind bars!

I'd rather be chairing the meeting from the bar

I vote in favour of that!

I'm looking forward to delivering the talk on Omagh in the new year.

Tonight's the night, for all things BCDR!!

Hope to see some of you there, and no rotten tomatoes please.

I hope it all goes well for you!

Are these in-person only, or broadcast online as well?
