The Manx Electric Railway Society
holds monthly social meetings. The meetings usually take the
form of a slide, film or video presentation. The opportunity
is also taken to keep members informed on the latest
developments concerning the MER and other Island transport.
Local and visiting members of the Society, guests and anyone
interested in transport are all welcome.
These meetings take place on the
second Tuesday of each month at the Columba Club on the
corner of Circular Road & Buck's Road, Douglas,
Isle of Man, and commence at 8.00pm. All are welcome to
attend.

The MERS is grateful to all past and future speakers at
the meetings who give up their own time to provide an
interesting and varied evening.
In October Alex Townsend provided an expert show on his
recent trip to San Francisco which looked at all of the many
public transport systems in the city.
Another fantastic show was provided by Tony Wilson in
November to mark the 50th Anniversary of the closure of the
Leeds trams. The presentation included many rare slides of
both the trams, and the buses within the city.
Andrew Scarffe provided a presentation of recent events
on the MER for the last meeting of 2009. Andrew travels
frequently on the line, and as such has many interesting
shots including the recent relays carried out by RMS
Locotech.
