An important date for all those interested in the history of the area and the Railway,´The Friends of Zurgena Railway¨ on Saturday 7th December at 1100 in the Plenary room of the Town Hall.
As many of you are aware there is a very strong connection between English engineers and the developement of the railways, here in Southern Spain, and in particular the Almanzora valley. It is a fact that these villages would never have existed had it not been for the railway.
We have organised a talk by the relative of the foremost photographic chronicler of the Railway in this area, Gustavo Gilman. After the meeting we will adjourn for a chat and a drink in a local bar.
This occasion will also serve as our launch of the Friends of Zurgena Railway Association. We will inform the meeting of our aims and desires for the developement of the Renfe area with regard to the future and seek to garner more members.
This is an important stage in advancing the project and we hope to get as many people as possible to support, and become involved in it. A second stage meeting will be held early in 2020 at which members of the association will invite many local people who worked on the railway to give their experiences and memories.
So if you have a bit of spare time a week on Saturday come along and find out about the past, present and future of the Renfe/Railway of this area and enjoy a drink and a tapa with us after the meeting. It would help if we had an idea of numbers so if you can (although not obligatory) please let me know if you intend to attend. (jimszurgena@gmail.com or whatsapp on 610194260).
