The FR visited the TR this year on 17 August - Race The Train Day!!!!

We promised increadable amounts of beer, really good food, double headed train, with footplate rides,
and karaoke. The highlight of the evening was of course the Footie Match, with the coverted
(or should that be lost) Trophy up for grabs.
