Colne Valley Railway, Castle Hedingham, CO9 3DZ. http://www.colnevalleyrailway.co.uk/index.php

There is an entrance fee to the Colne Valley Railway but they have agreed to offer us a special discounted, rate so we need to know numbers so we can get Steve to negotiate us an ever better deal.

I need to you let me know by WEDNESDAY if you are coming along for the day, if you'll want fish'n'chips at the Buffet car or will opt for their normal pub menu and if you want to go onto Colne Valley.

Fingers crossed the weather turns out as good as it is today,
