    No I do not currently volunteer
    Meanwhile, on the 2'0" gauge, the enthusiast-focussed events at the Apedale Valley Light Railway will be May 11 - Classic Cars day, July 12 - Industry Trains and finally the Narrow Gauge Event of 2014 (he said, modestly) - Tracks to the Trenches, the WW1 commemoration event - September 12, 13 and 14.
    We start the running season on April 12, and will run every Saturday and Bank Holiday, plus some Sundays, with regular steam traction. 2014 should see, with a fairly gentle following wind, three working steam engines resident at Apedale. Do come along and say hello.

    Bluebell Railway special events are listed here:

    http://www.bluebell-railway.com/file/121/timetable-2014-final.pdf

    I don't know if any more are planned, but to my eyes these are the main "enthusiast" events:

    Toy and Rail Collectors Fayre - 26 April 2014
    Southern at War - 10/11 May 2014
    Edwardian Weekend - 17/18 May 2014
    Model Railway Weekend - 28/29 June 2014
    Toy and Rail Collectors Fayre - 26/27 July 2014
    Vintage Transport Weekend - 9/10 August 2014
    Vintage Bus Day - 5 October 2014

    Plus the enforced diesel running 18/19 Jan; 25/26 Jan; 1/2 Feb; between HK and EG only.

    There is also a two week long "Summer Festival" from Saturday July 26th until Sunday August 10th. Explained as "A host of activities at each of our stations including garden tours of Gravetye Manor, visits to Chailey Windmill, local town, village and Church tours plus much more. Check our website from April 2014". I suspect that follows on from the style of our of our opening festival, combining (and building links) with the local community. Whether it means an enhanced train service I don't know. (The timetable leaflet implies a special timetable).
