24th August	Quainton Rally Quainton Railway Centre Station Road Quainton Aylesbury Bucks HP22 4BY We are in the process of planning this long-established very popular event, held every year virtually since the Guild was formed in 1977. The Railway Centre can be found six miles north of Aylesbury, just north of the A41 and signed just west of Waddesdon, or can be accessed through Quainton village. NB - the HS2 works may still be causing disruption and re-routing so please follow any temporary signage. If there is any further useful information I shall post on the Guild website or Facebook page nearer the date. Start time is 10:30am. All Rover models are welcome and we also embrace non-Rovers. There is a lot to see and experience, with steam train rides both full size and miniature. The re-erected station beside the car park has static locos and rolling stock at the platforms, including Winston Churchill's World War 2 travelling office suite and one of Queen Victoria's dining cars. There is an excellent cafe and outside picnic area. Across the tracks via the footbridge there is an extensive museum where all aspects of railway life across the decades can be seen. At time of writing, no prior booking is necessary although this may change in line with site requirements. We are still negotiating with the Railway Centre and will confirm arrangements and entry fees for 2025 in time for the March Overdrive Magazine. Please note that any Covid -19 or other restrictions that may be imposed must be observed and safety notices obeyed.
