Welcome
to the Web Site of the
South of England Group
of the
Friends of the National
Railway Museum
Who are we?
The Friends of the National Railway
Museum support the development of the museum and
its exhibits with financial support and voluntary
help with museum activities.Membership brings
various benefit s including regular meetings at
York and a newsletter describing activities at the
museum, in-depth articles on historic railway
topics and definitive reviews of railway
literature. In addition there are opportunities to
help with a range of support activities at the
museum including providing information to
visitors, assisting with conservation. For more
information on the NRM or Friends see the Museum
web page or the main
Friends web site.
The South of England Group, as its
name suggests, covers those members of the FNRM
who live in the southern parts of England, many of
whom cannot, because of the distance, attend the
museum regularly. We run a series of indoor talks,
many linked to aspects of the museum's activities,
and organise special visits to sites in Southern
England. We regularly attend railway and transport
events throughout the South with our information
and sales stand. This promotes the museum and
provides a source of additional income, via sales
of NRM related material. The Group uses this
income to support the main FNRM activities.
Members in the South receive a special Briefing
covering the activities of the Group.
