Following on from discussion in this thread, I've decided to set up a new thread to explain things properly and so I can set up a poll.

My proposal is that, once monthly (presumably on a Saturday), we organise a day trip on NEB. Your family and friends can attend even if they are not members of the forum. While the locations have not yet been established, there is plenty of scope for the places we could go to.

This will presumably be cheaper than travelling by train (which would have been the alternative), and allows us to get together to get away from the North East and get some great photos.

I have contacted approximately 15 companies based around the North East asking for a quote on how much it would be for a group of us to travel to Dunfermline in mid-August from Newcastle Central Station. This of course is related to the SVBM Open Weekend, which several members have shown interest towards. It would be great to have an idea of numbers just so I can tell the companies, should they ask.


If you are interested in accompanying us on these day trips, could you please fill out the poll above and outline in a post some of the places you would like to go to. If price is one of the things which would be the decision-maker for you, feel free to PM me or post below with the price too.
