Bernard Mills: The Diesel Hydraulic Era
-----------------------------------------------
Thorncombe Railway Activities Club - TRAC - was formed in 2000 and serves a varied and growing membership living in West Dorset, East Devon and South Somerset. We meet at Thorncombe Village Hall in West Dorset which is conveniently close to the border with Devon and Somerset. The towns of Seaton, Lyme Regis, Honiton, Chard, Bridport, Axminster, Ilminster and Crewkerne are only a short distance away. Our members have varied interests, so whether you build model railways or prefer the real thing, or have a particular interest in steam, diesel or electric railways, we are sure you will find membership of TRAC to be enjoyable. There are no age or gender barriers, although younger members under 14 should be accompanied by a responsible adult.

Membership:
Membership is £10.00 per annum and is open to everyone, and includes admission to all meetings held at the Village Hall, and the opportunity to take part in TRAC trips to outside attractions in July & August. If you are unable to become a member of the group, we are quite happy for you to attend our meetings on a guest basis and pay a small charge on the door.  Next: 2009 Programme

 Our meetings:
We hold monthly meetings, generally on the third Wednesday of the month, which usually consist of a speaker and presentation on a railway-related topic, followed by a refreshment break, then a question and answer session with the guest speaker. There are also displays of railway interest provided by members, we have a collection of videos and DVDs available to members, and railway magazines are brought along to recycle to others. A prize raffle is also held, and all proceeds from this and membership payments go towards the hire of the hall and paying the costs of our guest speakers.
