Regional Organisers, Mike & Jane organised a 'Dinner with a Difference' for this years Christmas meal. We all met up and drove to Swanage to board the Wessex Belle - Pullman First Class no less!!!

A real change which everyone enjoyed & not only that we all went back to Mike & Jane's for tea & cake before wending our different ways home. Thank you M & J from us all & for all your organising & hospitality throughout the year, it is much appreciated.

Here is our trusty Steed!! Stuff the environment - puff out loads of pollution!!

NO - not these...

Quite a few carriages.

No - I got you first!!

Sign us in..

So BR is still around!!

First stop is the Bar - naturally!!

Nice warm place to be...

Just making sure we are on time!! Note the 'Panther' scarf!!

Yet another Station.
