ELR 40's wartime weekend officially the best

Post by david layland »

At the Lancashire & Blackpool Tourism Awards 2010/11 the East Lancashire Railway won 'Best Tourism Event of the Year' for the 1940's wartime weekend 2009. This was a public vote and beat competition from the World Firework Championships in Blackpool and Festival Bowland.
This follows on from last year's 2nd. place entry in the same category and recognises the hard work put into the event by the organising team and volunteers.
We now go through to the Regional Finals to be held at Old Trafford cricket ground in September.
On behalf of the ELR company congratulations to everyone involved in the event in any way,shape or form and for making it such a success.
