2018 Bellingham Convention

GNRHS Convention Update

We are fast approaching the “Early Registration Deadline” on August 10, 2018.  Don’t miss the annual GNRHS great get-together.  See old friends, meet new friends and share in the history of the Great Northern!  Except for the Post-convention tour, all tours remain open and available.

As with any convention, we have had some minor changes in our time card.  An updated agenda (current as of 7/23/2018) is available on this website.

I would also draw your attention to a donation from The North Bank Line and Ed Austin for our traditional raffle – held at the annual banquet.  This prize is a HO Brass Model Locomotive #3042 with green boiler.  The value of this donation is $1685.

The ONLY way you have a chance to own this locomotive is by attending the annual convention, purchasing your raffle tickets and attending the meeting closing banquet.  Don’t pass up this opportunity.  (Our many thanks to Mr. Austin for his donation to our raffle).

Join us in Bellingham WA.  We will miss you if you are not there.  If you have any questions about the convention, don’t hesitate to contact the National Convention Officer, Mary McGlothlin at ncognrhs@gmail.com.

Please see the Convention Info page for detailed information, the timecard and registration.

See you in Bellingham in September!
