3rd and 4th August 2019 - West Somerset Railway Steam Fayre - Norton Fitzwarren.   Looks like I might be there supporting the RailFuture stand ... and of course will be happy to see Coffee Shop members.   As I write, my heavier involvement with RailFuture (nationally) remains to be fully defined.  And there is a defined "piece" to write / contrast TravelWatch SouthWest, RailFuture and the Coffee Shop.

Indeed, I did visit but only rather briefly towards the end of the day. Beer and hog roast most enjoyable.
I am getting a bit past it for these events that involve a lot of walking and standing.
Still enjoyable though.
