Members from all over the UK contributed to the programmes. In return the CRW has attended exhibitions, provided facilities for youngsters and worked with the club. Much of this close relationship was apparent in the millennium broadcasts, when the radio station carried a number of programmes of transport interest. These included a documentary looking at early railway history, a series on the social impact of public transport and a feature on a railway crash in the 1950s. Small groups of Junior School children are welcome to book an hours use of the facilities in advance.
Adults are also welcome to come along and see the work of the charity.
At various times over the two days you may also sit and relax while you listen to some of our transport recordings or watch a transport video. Inside the Fairfield complex you will find a display of self-adhesive stickers including a range which are exclusive to the charity, birthday cards, notelets, decorated paper and various other items, some with a transport theme, on the Charity's stand. The Navigation Art Company will demonstrate the art of 'folk art'. For details on how you can learn this traditional form of canal painting. The society has an exhibition in the Sun Lounge at Fairfield from Monday 14 th October to Saturday 27 th October.
