National Railway Museum
Who are
we?
The Friends of the National
Railway Museum support the development of
the museum and its exhibits with financial
support and voluntary help with museum
activities.Membership brings various
benefit s including regular meetings at
York and a newsletter describing
activities at the museum, in-depth
articles on historic railway topics and
definitive reviews of railway literature.
In addition there are opportunities to
help with a range of support activities at
the museum including providing information
to visitors, assisting with conservation.
For more information on the NRM or Friends
see the Museum
web page or the main
Friends web site.
The South of England Group,
as its name suggests, covers those members
of the FNRM who live in the southern parts
of England, many of whom cannot, because
of the distance, attend the museum
regularly. We run a series of indoor
talks, many linked to aspects of the
museum's activities, and organise special
visits to sites in Southern England. We
regularly attend railway and transport
events throughout the South with our
information and sales stand. This promotes
the museum and provides a source of
additional income, via sales of NRM
related material. The Group uses this
income to support the main FNRM
activities. Members in the South receive a
special Briefing covering the
activities of the Group.
