In the early days of steam preservation Redbourn was very much at the centre of activities. Lance Statham’s Fowler ‘Carry On’ was based in the village and was often seen in action, while Betty Vickery hit the headlines when she took her driving test on the common with her Aveling convertible. Times have changed, but steam will be back on the common at Redbourn Museum on Saturday 28th May, feel free to bring any suitable exhibit. Sandy

As in previous years, I hope that you can come along with something from your collection and enjoy the sun, a few beers from the Cricketers, and some steam talk. We normally arrive about 11 am and remain until mid afternoon, but there are no rules!
Please pass this invitation along to anyone else interested. As before, models/full size steam/cars/tractors and anything else are welcome, but no money or coal (tea/coffee normally do arrive, though).
Redbourn Museum is situated on Redbourn Common, not far from the historic Watling Street St Albans to Dunstable Road, and near Junction 9 of the M1 motorway. Satnav AL3 7NB. https://www.redbournmuseum.org/
