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, and
hand on heart, it's what drew me to this club...

Sprocket is our latest purchase at the back end of
2007.
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...
