It is with great sadness that one of our Centre members has recently passed away and we have been donated his extensive collection of high quality railway books. We are present over the weekend at Birtley Model Railway Exhibition (Sat 2nd and Sun 3rd March) between 10am and 4pm on both days to sell some of these books to raise funds for the Centre.
The exhibition is at the Community Centre, Ravensworth Road, Birtley, DH3 1EN.
