We have added an additional event to the programme for the Save Dreamland Convention on 1 June, in association with the European Coaster Club. This special event is for ECC members, but anyone who has purchased tickets in advance is welcome to join them (unfortunately, this event is not open to people who will be buying tickets on the door as numbers are strictly limited).
ECC members (and other ticket holders for the event wishing to join them) can arrive at the Scenic Railway between 9.30 and 10.00am. At 10.00am there will be a 45 minute behind the scenes tour of the Scenic Railway, to include the station and extensive workshop areas within the structure of the ride. Brakemen Dave Collard and John Husband will be on hand to answer any questions. This will be a unique opportunity to see the workings of the oldest operating roller coaster in the UK.
The tour will finish at approximately 10.45am, just in time for people to make their way to the Theatre Royal for the Convention itself. Doors open at 11.30am to view trade stands and Dreamland memorabilia (the bar will be open as well!) The main show starts at 12.30pm.
Tickets are still available to buy online at: http://www.joylandbooks.com/scenicrailw ... ention.htm .
I look forward to seeing you all there!
