Presented by David Fowler
It is hard to believe that BR mainline steam finished in 1968. A lot has happened since then. David's presentation tonight covers, approximately, the first quarter-century of post_BR preservation. He feels this is about the right length to cover the most important aspects of what is in retrospect was a most interesting period of the preservation era, with locos and scenes which are unlikely to be repeated. It also provides an opening to presentations from 1996 onwards.
Giggleswick Railway Circle (GRC) is a voluntary group that holds regular meetings for anyone interested in railways.
So, if are you interested in….
· Past, present and future railway operations
· Locomotives and rolling stock
· Railway buildings, track and signalling
· Railway photography
· A history of railway lines and their communities
… then come along to our meetings.
Normally our meetings are held at 19.30 on the 4th Wednesday monthly, but please check the diary before travelling.
GRC is not a club; all are welcome to the meetings, and there is no subscription or membership needed. Refreshments are included in the admission charge.

CABARET SEATING
Most of the shows at Victoria Hall use ‘cabaret-style’ seating. This means that your seats will be unreserved, which allows you to decide where to sit when you arrive.
The stalls (downstairs) are set up informally, with chairs around small tables, for a sociable, relaxed atmosphere, and somewhere to put your drink. Cabaret seating also allows space for dancing, which is highly encouraged at Victoria Hall!
For those who prefer a more ‘traditional’ theatre experience, the balcony seats are laid out in rows and raked, ensuring all seats have an excellent view.
For parties of six or more, tables in the stalls can be reserved- contact us to reserve a table. If you have reserved a table, we ask that at least one of your party turn up at least 30 minutes before the performance start time, in order to secure your table.
We can always reserve seating or wheelchair spaces in the stalls for those unable to use the stairs- just let us know when you book your tickets.
Please note, online bookings are subject to a booking fee. Tickets can also be bought by phone on 01729 825718, or in person at our box office. Opening hours are 10am-2pm, Monday-Friday.
Show end times given are an estimate only. Doors open 45 minutes before show start times.
Settle Victoria Hall reserves the right to turn away any customers not adhering to social-distancing laws, government guidelines, and/ or venue safeguarding policies.
Tickets are non-refundable, except in the case that the event or date has been changed by Settle Victoria Hall.
