IMPORTANT NOTICE : COVID-19 ACTIONS
Sadly we must announce that the railway museum is closed to the public until further notice and will remain closed until further advice is available. It will not reopen until assurance has been obtained from Government agencies - hopefully later in 2020.
The Semaphore Railway has been closed from running for the remainder of the season. It will not restart until assurance has been obtained from Government agencies - possibly late 2020.
NRM volunteers are not to attend the museum until further notice.
As soon as we have more information, we will keep all informed.
Thank you again during these troubled times.
General Updates
Long term friend of NRM, and a prolific railway photographer Mick Kelly passed away Wednesday 8 April 2020. Mick was virtually everywhere during the 1970s through to the 1990s. His slides and super 8mm films are all part of the NRM archives collection. Mick was 73.
EVENT CANCELLATIONS AND POSTPONEMENT
General Meeting Friday 27 March - CANCELLED
SA History Festival - Behind Closed Doors : Sat & Sun 16/17 May - CANCELLED.
As a consequence of the History Trust of SA cancelling the History Festival events for May 2020, NRM has aligned itself with that outcome and therefore our own Behind Closed Doors event is now also cancelled.
For those few people who may have already booked and paid for their Driver's Experience, please contact the museum if you desire a refund - or if you would like it to be retained as a donation.
NRM will continue to update other events planned during 2020.
Thank you.
Bub’s Birthday Party on 19 April will not proceed and will be postponed to a later date in the year - please check back for more information.
The Overland Book launch planned for Sunday 28 June has been cancelled by the book author and publisher Dr John Wilson.
