Extras from the Magazine!
Every now and then, we get an article, or some photos, where there is too much information to fit into the magazine.
Here is where you' find the extra bits that we couldn't print

Magazine Back Issues
For those of you who may have lost your magazine, or if you're just passing through and are wondering what the magazine is like, we're now including magazine downloads here on the website.
From now on we will have the last 4 back issues of Raising Steam for you to download.
To keep it fair for our paying members, each new magazine will be added to the website when the next issue has been published, for example the January edition will be available to download once the April edition has been posted out.

Log Book Scheme
The Steam Apprentice Club runs a log book scheme, where you can record your progress as an Apprentice.
The aim of the scheme is to allow you to keep a record of your experience on steam engines.
It also allows enginemen to see what experience a new apprentice has, and lists procedures and areas of engine management to learn.
Also, after you have completed all areas of the log book, both practical and technical, and are eligible for a provisional drivers licence, you can progress to do the Steam Traction Engine Competency Test.
Log books are available for £5. Please contact our vice-chairwoman, Elaine Massey, for more details. Click HERE to send her a message.
If you already have a log book, but have run out of space in
sections 2, 3, 4 or 5, you can download extra blank pages HERE.
Badges
The Steam Apprentice Club has produces two badges, a fabric badge to be sewn to clothing and an enamel pin badge.
If you would like to purchase either of the badges, the fabric badge is £1.50 and the enamel badge is £2.
