TR Register Spring Ball, Chesterfield. 6th - 8th April 2018
Between the 6th - 8th April the Derbyshire Dales Group hosted the TR Register Spring Ball at the Casa Hotel, Chesterfield. Once again this was a great success with some seventy people attending in twenty-eight TRs and two Stags. The Friday offered a guided tour, then a buffet dinner with a car seat construction competition, using only balloons, sticky tape and string, (see photo) then dinner & entertainment from a comedian/magician (well worth a video). Saturday offered a run through the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Dales in which 13 cars, hoods down for most of the way, took part. This was followed by a black-tie dinner and raffle, with entertainment from a favourite group of the Derbyshire Dales, The ziPt, a reformed version of The Pitz, and every bit as good. Sunday saw a tour of the Barrow Hill Round House, the last surviving engine shed housing an operational rail engine turntable complete with several steam and diesel rail engines. A very fine and enjoyable weekend; congratulations to Dave Burgess and team for an exceptional event enjoyed by all. Photographs courtesy of Alan Ford
