	Canterbury Railway Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1944, a group of railway enthusiasts across New Zealand came together to form the country's first dedicated railfan organisation, the New Zealand Railway and Locomotive Society.
		Interest quickly grew and major branches of the Society were formed in Auckland, Waikato, Manawatu, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago, as well as informally constituted groups in other areas.
		When the requirement for full membership of the parent society began to be enforced there was a move for the Canterbury Branch to follow the lead of the former Auckland, Wellington and Otago Branches and form a separate Society.

	Canterbury Railway Society - History
		The Canterbury Railway Society is the successor of the Canterbury Group and then the Canterbury Branch NZRLS.
		Restructuring of New Zealand Railways which had begun in the early 80s resulted in the closure of various local railway facilities and produced further acquisition opportunities for the Canterbury Railway Society, though the Society had to shift its meetings venue from Addington Workshops to Ferrymead.
		The other major event of the early 90s was the privatisation of New Zealand Railways to become Tranz Rail Ltd. It was during this period that excursion train operation for many smaller groups became uneconomic with the result that the Canterbury Railway Society ceased to be involved in such activities.

		I am assured that to be historically accurate, having received one's food - and drinks - one should in fact fight one's way back out the original door - despite the others in the queue who are trying to fight their way into it.
		In addition, instead of the peas being cooked to perfection, they should instead be from a large can and sufficiently overcooked and mushy as to spray their individual contents all over whoever is trying to eat them.
		A special feature, though, was the presentation to the Railway Enthusiasts Society of the tablet key to Glenbrook Station, a station that forms part of that society's Glenbrook Vintage Railway.
