Name: Jack Bowley

Position: Co-founder and Administrator

What I do: On the MRL forum, I help administrate the forums, working with my team mates, we improve the facilities and features available. I run and publish the monthly newsletter which is free, covering the latest news, photo competition winners and any other important announcements.

Interests: Railways, Photography, Computers,

More information: I've been into the railways since I was about 7-8 years old, and since then, been taking photographs of them at various locations. I'm also into computer, spending a lot of my time on them, editing websites, going on Facebook (add me as a friend) and what not.

I currently volunteer at the Crewe Heritage Centre and go there to help operate the 7¼" gauge miniature railway as much as I can. The centre is where we hosted our first ever MRL day, and we hope to do it again at this venue in 2012.
