Clubrooms
The Railway Enthusiasts Club is as it says a club for like minded Railway Enthusiasts. Developing out of a group of enthusiasts in the early 1950s it developed into a specialist railway touring club and today concentrates mainly on the railway modeller.
We have our own club room in Farnborough and meet every Tuesday from 7:00 pm.
We have a large meeting hall, bar, kitchen, library, office and layout storage facilities. We have extensive parking available both within the club perimeter and nearby.

COVID-19 UPDATE
The Government have announced that a number of activities and institutions, including Social Clubs, can now re-open.
Whilst the REC falls into the latter category, the restrictions imposed by the current Social Distancing rules and other necessary precautionary measures mean that we would be unable to provide any semblance of a normal club night, or facilities, to those attending.
The Directors and Management Committee of the REC have therefore agreed that we should remain closed for the foreseeable future.
We are constantly reviewing the situation, and will provide an update on this website as soon as we believe it to be safe to re-open the Clubrooms.
