just keeps getting better
The latest S&D Telegraph, from the Midsomer Norton group, has just arrived. As always it's a fantastic read and a credit not just to MN and the S&D but to the whole heritage movement.
It's nice to see in this issue that not only are they breaking out of MN physically but there are numerous references to the larger picture, ie the whole S&D. This is really heartening to see as MN really is the lynchpin in the whole S&D revival and a superb base for all S&D fans to gravitate towards. I could almost have written the editorial myself!
Remember that we have our first meeting tomorrow evening (details on the sidebar). Please try to attend - I promise that the second meeting will be down at the Bournemouth end of the line so it's not such a trek for our southern members. I'm both nervous and excited about this! Hopefully the weather will be sunny and we can do a lot of it outside. Pimms on the patio sounds great to me!
I'm getting a lot of correspondence from members and supporters, many with a very feisty attitude to getting the S&D rebuilt! Just a few years ago I felt like a lone voice in the wilderness, but more people are coming over to our way of thinking every day ...

An excellent read as ever, I've especially enjoyed the series on Wimborne as I remember the station in the seventies, and one of my ancestors was the crossing keeper at Lake. Good to see that the idea of the whole line as a public service is beginning to gain ground too.
How do we get a copy?

You need to order it via the group at Midsomer Norton. The address is Midsomer Norton South Station, Silver Street, Midsomer Norton, BA3 2EY. Cover price is £2.95 - not sure what their policy on postage and packing is. Their website at www.sdjr.co.uk has a sales section with more info.
