Telford Railway Society - notes for our Presenters
This page contains useful information for our Guest Speakers and Presenters which is not included anywhere else on the site.
Times
The venue is usually open by 19:00; by 19:30 there are usually a number of our members in attendance. Start time is 19:45. Finish time is 22:00 prompt (the venue is open until 23:00, however). Please note that a 10-15 minute 'half-way' break is usual (about 20:45).
Capacity
The venue comfortably accommodates about 50 people, though average attendance is usually less than this.
Projector
The Society has its own manual slide projector which can be used provided you notify us in advance. It takes 'standard' Agfa carriers. The projector is not kept at the venue! Although manual, you can usually find a willing volunteer to drive it!
Projector Stand
The Society has an adjustable projector stand which is usually available at short notice.
Screen
The Society has its own screen which is usually available at short notice.
Microphone and speakers
These are available provided you notify us in advance - 'quiet' speakers will benefit from this as the venue's 'competition' from the bar can get rather loud as the evening progresses.
Video
The Society has a VHS video player & remote control which can be used provided you notify us in advance.
DVD
The Society has a DVD Player which can be used provided you notify us in advance.
Television
The Society has a colour TV which is usually available at short notice.
Power Sockets
There are numerous 13A power sockets around the room, though an extension cable is always useful.
We would like to express our thanks to all our Presenters both old and new. We hope you have an enjoyable time at Telford Railway Society. If you have queries not answered on this page, please contact us or add a note on our 'Guestbook'. Thanks.
