FR Heritage Group Journal
From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group
Published quarterly by the FR Heritage Group, usually in February, May, August and November. The intervals were originally chosen to hit the mid-point between publication of the FRM. Content is very varied; opinion, policy and recent events are usually covered in Officers' Notes and other articles deal with current heritage-related projects, historical aspects of the FR and associated railways, quarries and local history. Photographs are monochrome, though colour is occassionally used in special circumstances. Detailed analysis of the content of photographs, both in the Journal and in books, is quite common - one celebrated photograph in a Middleton book provoked correspondence over a period of a couple of years! Sadly, the obituaries of prominent figures in the preservation of the FR have occupied quite a bit of space recently (Feb 2007 ACG)
If you're into the heritage aspect of the Ffestiniog, then the Heritage Group Journal is the magazine for you. With in depth analysis of particular aspects of historical railway life, mixed with present day actions in support of our Heritage. Membership/subscription details can be found at the group website
