THE 2026 FRIENDS OF VINTAGE TRAINS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The 2026 Annual General Meeting of the Friends of Vintage Trains was held on Sunday 22 March 2026 at the Tyseley Working Mens Club, 573 Warwick Road, Tyseley, Birmingham B11 2EX (directly opposite Tyseley Locomotive Works).
The AGM started at 11.15am and, following a break for a complimentary buffet lunch, we were pleased to welcome Anthony Coulls, Senior Curator of Rail Transport and Technology at the National Railway Museum, York, who will give us his reflections on Rail200, especially the often-overlooked community events that were so important to the celebrations. Members were welcome to bring a guest to the talk but the AGM was for Members only so we asked guests to wait in the bar downstairs … unless they would like to join as a member, of course!
The Annual General Meetings are your opportunity to have your say in the running of the Friends and we look forward to seeing you there and sharing your thoughts following another year of the Friends.
