ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP

Members who subscribe by Annual Membership receive the following benefits:

1. 10% off in our Buffet & Gift Shop

2. Three vouchers entitling you to travel for just £1 (which you simply exchange at the Booking Office on the day of travel). Each ticket is valid for a whole day, for as many journeys as are available that day. You can either use them yourself or pass them on to friends or family so that they may enjoy the experience.

3. Half-price travel for yourself: This can be used on as many days as you wish throughout the year (special events excluded).

4. Semaphore magazine: The Avon Valley Railway’s official members’ magazine ‘Semaphore’. This magazine is a mine of information about the Railway, its history and future plans, reports from the various departments, and a forum for letters and views of all members. Containing many photographs, this is a quality full-colour illustrated magazine.

5. Ground Signal: a supplementary newsletter published for members, between issues of Semaphore. In Ground Signal, you can catch up on all the latest news of progress on the railway.

6. Social events organised throughout the year: We are a close-knit family who share similar interests. There are many opportunities for social events and other members activities throughout the year.

7. The chance to help run YOUR railway by volunteering: with opportunities to be trained in a variety of activities connected with the operation of the line, from Ticket Inspector to Engine Driver. See our Volunteering Page for more information.
