Dear fine peoples,
Based on the availability of certain members and a completely unilateral decision from myself, the date of the 2024 GTE is declared as – Saturday 20th July.
To those for whom the phrase is unfamiliar, the GTE is a thorough day of training (train-inn) that incorporates running, refreshment, locomotive transport and appropriate attire to affect admiring glances from members of the public.
Starting at the Old West Station and over a running distance of some 8 miles – assisted by steam, diesel and electric power – our group will visit an exuberance of hostelries before finishing at a dinner location.
If you are interested in attending, please see me at the club for more details or to register.
As is customary, ASLEF will announce a strike a couple of hours after this email goes out
