Anyone interested in the A1 Tornado Steam Loco?
Discussion
A friend of mine in the MG Car Club is organising a Lecture in Abingdon (Oxfordshire).
These lectures are often half empty (and then a load of people say to him after "I'd have come if I'd known it was on") so he asked if I could help him spread the word, neither he or I benefit from this event.
Below is his message relating to the talk, and the attachments are available at

I hope it is OK to post this here, if not I appologise.

Hello
I hope you do not mind me contacting you. I seek some assistance as I would like to draw to the attention of as many people as possible the Tornado Lecture.
May I introduce myself, I am Roger Boys I represent the organising team who are promoting on behalf of the MG Car Club, Abingdon, the fourth in a series of lectures which features the great British Engineering achievements. In the last few years we have featured Bloodhound the 1000 mph project, Vulcan and the Falkland's then we celebrated the 50 years of the MGB.
This year the MGB Lecture, due to take place on the 3rd October 2013 , at the Amey Theatre in Abingdon Oxfordshire, will feature the building of the A1 Pacific Steam locomotive “Tornado”.
I am confident that your members and friends will be familiar with this story but may not have had the opportunity to hear the story told by those who were the motivation behind this magnificent achievement, the illustrated Lecture covers the epic tale of how a conversation in a pub turned into a generation long struggle to build a new steam engine from scratch, mainly funded by asking members of the public to donate “the price of a pint”
I have taken the liberty of sending to you the “flyer” and Press Release which gives the details of the event and how to book tickets and would ask if you would be able to bring the details of this event to the attention to your members and any others who you think may be interested and perhaps feature the Lecture on your web site.
We have 400 seats available and everyone is welcome to attend. Should you have any advise as to other ways we can ensure that Railway enthusiasts are made away of this event we would appreciate your advice.
Should you require any further information on the event please contact me.
Thank you.
