9F Club
Bluebell Railway’s 9F Club supports the Bluebell Railway Preservation Society (BRPS) by channelling the enthusiasm of young people for steam engines and railways, from merely watching, to actually learning the reality of what it takes to run a preserved railway. The club allows young people between 9 and 16 years of age to undertake ‘hands on’ activities in small groups under experienced adult supervision.
The 9F Club meets once a month, from March to November, alternating between Saturdays and Sundays. Most of the time the members get very dirty while enjoying, what is often, a hard day of physical activity.
Many members, on leaving the 9F club when they are 16, commence working as volunteers in their preferred department(s) at the railway.
The 9F Club has a safeguarding policy, all adult supervisors are DBS checked and all members sign, and are required to abide by, an annual behaviour agreement.
On Health and Safety grounds this is not a suitable environment for children requiring special supervision.
Membership of the 9F Club is at the discretion of the Bluebell Railway, whose decision is final.
Membership fees
- Joining fee – £15.00pp (this covers the cost of the 9F cap and badges)
- Annual subscription – £15.00pp (payable each year during membership)
Please note – for insurance purposes, to be a member of the 9F Club, you will also need to be a member of the BRPS.
There is currently a waiting list to join the 9F Club. To join the waiting list, please email: bluebell9fmembership@hotmail.co.uk
