Local clubs etc.

Have now retired and been “playing around” with a mini lathe for about a year now – just wondered if there is a local club or other interested parties nearby? I am in the Hinckley area (Leicestershire)

Hi Malc,

 

Although from Derby, I’m a member of North West Leicestershire SME based at the Hermitage Leisure centre at Whitwick, Coalville, not too far from you. Basically a bunch of ‘nutters’ but we have a laugh and don’t take things too seriously

 

Working day is a Thursday when we get together and drink tea, have a natter, and occasionally actually do some work! We have a public running day the third Sunday in the month, and ‘specials’ such as an annual traction engine rally, enthusiasts day, trips, etc. The members have a wide range of interests from stationary engines to locos, traction engines etc. We have a 1300′ raised track with 2½”. 3½” and 5″ gauges, and a ground level 5″ gauge track. Car park and a field next door for running traction engines etc.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply. As you say, you are not that far away from me – I will keep you in mind.

 

Thanks

Malc.
