defiant1uk Posted 10 September , 2015 Share Posted 10 September , 2015 www.ww1-event.org Following on from the great success of the "Tracks to the Trenches" event at the Apedale Valley Light Railway in 2014, it gives us great pleasure to announce that the event is to be repeated and developed in 2016 and 2018. Attracting over 3000 visitors from across the UK and Europe, the 2014 event also received much praise and acclaim. In a departure to previous large events, the main galas at Apedale have now moved to the 2nd weekend in May each year. 2016 (TTTT 2) – a 3 day event from 13-15th May 2016. A very similar format to the 2014 event (TTTT 1); with photo-charters being arranged in advance of the event weekend, evening photo-shoots during the event, access all areas passes, an emphasis on Schools/Group visit packages, plus much more! 2018* (TTTT 3) – a 4 day World War 1 centenary event from 10th – 13th May 2018. Currently anticipated as really special year. Further details to be confirmed shortly, but hopefully developing on from TTTT1 and 2. Please keep the dates in your diaries and watch the event website for exciting developments! The organisers would like to invite any interested exhibitors or traders to contact us through this forum or through the event website – we would be pleased to hear from you! www.ww1-event.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonraker Posted 25 April , 2016 Share Posted 25 April , 2016 Just in case the OP does not return to update the post above (and time is running out), here's a link giving a little more detail to next month's event. Moonraker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defiant1uk Posted 29 April , 2016 Author Share Posted 29 April , 2016 Late exhibit entries entries are coming in now for Tracks to the Trenches. We are delighted to announce two real celebrity machines will be making a first-time visit to Apedale. They are the Ffestiniog Railway's 40HP Simplex (once known as Mary Ann) and Moelwyn - the UK's only surviving example of one of the Baldwin tractors which were very popular with American and Canadian forces during WW1. Being FR locos, their wheel standards are alsightly incompatible with the railway at Apedale - so they MAY be static display or very limited operation - testing will decide. Full details of attending attractions are available at www.ww1-event.org There's still just a few days to buy advance tickets. The deal is pretty good - you get to skip the queue, and get the guidebook thrown in. The guidebook is £4, and is really nice - so you get £13 worth of ticket and book for £9, and quick entry. A bargain if ever there was one. We've also still got a few Access All Areas passes left. Closing date for advance ticket sales is 1st May, so stop messing around on web forums and go to www.ww1-event.org/tickets with your credit card in hand.
