16th September at URC Hall - On and Off the Rails by Peter Willey.  Peter reflects on his 42-year industry career focusing on all the characters he het and worked with and will compare the modern industry with the industry in 1972.

7th October - Online Zoom - Tramways of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Part 1: Prague, Plzeň and Most-Litvínov by Robert Pritchard, Editor Today's Railways UK.
There are nine tramways in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This presentation features street scenes of Czech trams taken across these three fascinating and very different systems over the last 10 years. We also look behind the scenes with depot and works visits, plus a glance at some of the tourist highlights of these destinations, including the wonderful baroque architecture of Prague, views from Plzeň cathedral - the tallest church spire in the Czech Republic and views from the famous “moving church of Most”, which was incredibly moved more than half a mile to a new location at the time of the demolition of the old Most town in the 1970s to allow the coal beneath to be mined. We will also stop by and take a look at Prague’s efficient Metro operation.

21st October at URC Hall - The Bressingham Story – Presentation by Philip Rooke.

4th November - Online Zoom - East Anglian Railway Museum by Mike Stanbury.

18th November at URC Hall - Short AGM followed by 2020 Railway Video Round-up by Chris Eve. Following his successful presentation to us on Zoom last year Chris returns with another selection of his videos.
