Of course if they hadn't chosen Shildon to be the first rail industry town from 1825 onwards, then our little Institute wouldn't have been founded either - we have so much to be grateful for on this anniversary weekend. Good luck "Locomotion No.1" on your journey to Stockton.

Just released today as part of the celebration - a reflection on our town's community S&DR 200 celebration back in August - this was a moment of joy for all who took part. Check out our lovely red banner. youtu.be/mRhtwVOYkEM?si…

Really impressed by Pete Waterman speaking out in The Sun to recognise the contribution of our founder and first President, Timothy Hackworth in the world’s locomotive engineering story. Little has been said about Timothy this weekend so we appreciate it.

Have just arrived at Eaglescliffe. The journey of the replica 1825 train is proving surreal. Next stop is Stockton. Our sincere gratitude to Network Rail who shared the vision and made huge efforts to facilitate this epic feat.

This campaign is not just about pubs, pints and beer - this is about face to face social interaction, shared experience, meaningful debate and discussion and stronger friendships, social ties and belonging. longlivethelocal.pub

We had a cracking 'indoor games tournament' on Sunday as part of our S&DR 200 celebrations. The connection? We were founded by S&DR people and believe it or not indoor games have always been part of the Institute offering throughout our 193 years. "Shove Ha'penny" anyone?

It’s getting around to that time again. Got to have the lads (and lasses) looking their best for when we remember them - and we always remember them.

On Saturday night coming (11 Oct) we have this excellent vocal group M-TOWN on in our main hall and our team are pulling out all the stops to dress up the hall for a great night. Tickets are still available - pay-on-the-door also, so get ready for a brilliant night out.

I've just sent a letter to our MP to tell them to support British pubs and brewing. Longer opening hours are not the answer. Improved affordability would be key. You should too >> longlivethelocal.pub/letter

We’ve freshened up our range of available drinks - with new options available and something for everyone (including lower and non alcoholic) and dropped prices - we’re open to the public so come visit us.
