The Slough & Windsor Railway Society meets on Friday evenings at The Manor, by Slough railway station, from about 7:15pm. The meeting usually features an illustrated talk on the subject of railways or some other transport-related theme, often presented by a visiting speaker (see programme below for details). There is a small admission charge to cover costs.
The evening's talk starts at 7:45pm, with a break at about 9pm when refreshments may be purchased. The Sales Stand is open for No. 3 souvenirs, books, magazines and other railwayana (as available) and for members to arrange loans from our extensive library of railway books.
