The DFDA was prominent in the final Newport Open Day Gala at the DFR on 19 May 2001 when the first Association-restored 08 was used and its first Sales stand did business. In the future, the DFDA will be organising a number of events to raise awareness of the Association, both at and away from the DFR.     Members receive our quarterly Newsletter "Power Up", membership card, special offers and reductions as they become available, members day's, a possible share issue and a chance to get your hands dirty!     At the end of 2002, a rejuvenated DFDA set up a formal Committee to oversee matters, adopting a Constitution and setting about business for 2003 to further it's causes and aims, bolstered by the acquisition in the Autumn of 2002 of the four class 73's from the Liverpool area.     This link to the DFDA site provides further information and contacts for enquiries on any of the above numbered locos in their care: Click here
