Traditionally held each spring, this event began as an annual 'Members Day'. The first Members Day advertised in SVRSevern Valley Railway News 'forthcoming events' was on 1 April 1995, featuring an increased train service with visits and displays behind the scenes for SVRSevern Valley Railway members.[1]. In 2005 the invitation was extended to SVRSevern Valley Railway shareholders with a second day being added to become the Members & Shareholders Weekend.
