Our GWR175 partners

We are delighted to thank various organisations in helping to stage the spectacular GWR175 on the Honeybourne Line.  In particular

  • The Railway Magazine our media partner.  Please visit them in the 'Iron Duke' tent during the first weekend
  • STEAM: Museum of the Great Western Railway.  Their staff will be present over both weekends and their display can be visited throughout the event
  • Railwayana Auctions who have organised a magnificent Railwayana display over the first weekend, including dozens of Great Western and BR(W) nameplates, cabsides, smokebox numbers, every BR(W) shedcode plate, totems and much more.  This is a truly spectacular display in the main marquee.  In addition, a major Railwayana auction takes place on Saturday 5th June from 11.00 and at 14.00 a Charity auction with some amazing items up for grabs.  Full information about the Railwayana and Charity auctions here!

 

And our charity partners:

  • Railway Children which helps homeless children all over the world. It's so named because desperate youngsters often gather at railway stations for warmth and food.
  • County Air Ambulance  in Gloucestershire whose amazing work saves countless lives yet depends on public support.]
  • Gloucestershire SANDS  - the charity that helps research into still-birth and infant death and supports parents who have suffered loss.

Finally the GWR175 committee would like to thank all supporters with trade stands, advertisers in the programme (on sale at the event) and countless other individuals and organisations who have made this event possible.
