The CRC meets at St.Paul’s Church Centre, Rossmore Road, Marylebone, London NW1 6NJ. This is an attractive hall which offers a comfortable environment for our meetings. It is a short walk north from Marylebone station on the west side of the line. Rossmore Road crosses over the railway at the station throat. Bus routes 139 from Waterloo to West Hampstead and 189 from Brent Cross to Oxford Circus pass the door. It is outside the congestion charge zone and parking is free after 18.30 on both single yellow lines and meters.

Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month from September through to July with an August break. Currently doors open at 18.30 for a 19.15 start, but from September 2023 the start time will be brought forward to 18.30 with a finish time by around 21.00. This should make things more convenient for members’ journey home.

A small admission charge is made for attendance, and season tickets for the 2023/24 season will also be available at the door offering further savings.

The last two meetings of the current season are -

Thursday 8th June: David Thornber Two weeks in Indonesia in 1979 followed by a short visit to The Congo from Zambia in 1970.

Thursday 13th July: Michael Bunn Baie de Somme Railway Steam Festivals a digital show highlighting the festivals that are staged about every three years at this French mixed gauge preserved railway.

After the traditional August break meetings resume on the second Thursday of the month from 14th September through until July 2024. The programme for season is being put together and there are still one or two slots available. If you would like to present a whole or even half evening show please contact the Secretary Adrian Palmer at akpalmer@talktalk.net or 07774 859871 to discuss.
