Thanks for that Andy. The museum are putting on this exhibition for our, The SMJ Society's, behalf.
We need to know as soon as possible if anyone is able to lend items for the display, as time is moving on.
The 1st of May looms and the museum are willing to stay open on that Sunday for the celebration.

HI Andy,
I spoke with David Postle at Kidderminster Railway Museum today, he may be able to help with some photographs and paperwork, several Beware Of Train signs, they also have a diamond Bridge Plate( that is not theirs so will have to check with owner.
He thinks he may already have been approached by somebody else, but I will try and remind anyway in a week or so

I hope the exhibition is on for a while as I will be "working" Abingdon airshow that weekend.
Update on the exhibition at Towcester museum.
The exhibition will run from May to July.
The museum is not open on a Sunday, so will not be open on May 1st (misquote from Rob Hamblin)
SMJ colleagues to take an active role in designing and staging the exhibition.
John Evans has kindly offered to loan 3 items for the display.
I have offered to loan a number of items of hardware and paperwork for the display.
Nigel.
