Every year in September the North Norfolk Railway, known locally as 'The Poppy Line', holds a '40's Weekend'.

This is a wonderful occasion when people dress in 1940's fashions and uniforms, meet old friends - some of whom travel from all over Europe to attend, and ride the steam trains from Holt to Sheringham via Weybourne while having a thoroughly good time.

It is one of the best attended 'memorabilia' events in the UK and the celebrations begin early on the Saturday morning running through until Sunday evening.

There are special events held at each station and on the trains where even wartime 'spivs' have been known to ply their 'trade'.

These are a few pics from that weekend.

October - 2020

This month sees  a third 'Blurb' book published! This one covers various DPG topics and my contributions to them. Printed on premium grade paper in hardback, it has a high quality feel and is a great coffeee table read.

DPG - 2021

As we begin 2021, meetings are not possible and it is uncertain when they will re-start. So we have devised a programme for the first 6 months, based on members contributing to the Viewing Platform on the chosen subjects.

Full details are here: www.dpg-vp.weebly.com

There are links also to the basic photography course by Chris Bray that we ran last year and other useful contacts and links.

PORTFOLIO develops different themes and ideas - your feedback will be most welcome.

Stories of a devasting fire in Devon, the Wells 'Lifeboat Horse' and a visit to London's 'Winter Wonderland' are the first three. Watch out for more to come . . .

Just before the first dreaded Covid-19 lockdown in March 2020, we did manage to squeeze in a visit to Fakenham Races. It was Friday the 13th so most of us refrained from gambling, preferring to concentrate on the photo opportunities. Here's mine: Fakenham Races

Since then, we've been restricted to 'virtual' meetings and to this end you can find all that we're getting up to on on our Viewing Platform, www.dpg-vp.weebly.com

I hope you enjoy the experience.
