Dogs for the Blind |

 |
The Society has long been associated with Charitable
events and we are not alone in this, many other societies
around the country 'doing their thing' for charity.
We are almost famous (notorious?) for our 24 hour runs
and with these, and other events over the years, have
raised a lot of money for Charity
Reg Berry, now running on the 5" gauge track in
the sky, had a personal interest in the Guide dogs for
the Blind and as a result, three guide dogs have been
purchased by the Society |

It is something that we as a Society are quite rightly
proud of and we wish to introduce you to our three dogs,
Reg, Loco and Sprocket
It's maybe something we (have to?) constantly remind
ourselves of when it's pouring with rain and we're hiding
under the station canopy and someone comes along and
says, "Are you running mate?"
Us model engineers are a soft old bunch really...

Sprocket is our latest purchase at the back end of
2006.
The dog names were chosen by the membership. Reg was
obviously named after the man that this was started
for, Reg Berry.
Loco - well it doesn't need explaining really, and
Sprocket was chosen by the diesel contingent in the
club - sorry Sprocket old boy...
