add info on galas featuring Day Member tickets
*June 1967: Contracts are exchanged on 1 June for sale of the line from Bridgnorth to Alveley.
*October 1967: **[[2047 Warwickshire| Manning Wardle 2047 Warwickshire]] arrives on 22 October.**The SVR held a Steam Gala, with 3205 and 46443 making alternate trips to Hampton Loade. The Railway had not yet received a Light Railway Order allowing rides to be given to the general public. However SVR members could travel, so the Railway did a brisk trade in ‘Day Member’ tickets. Full membership of the Severn Valley Railway Society also benefitted, passing the 1,000 mark.
*November 1967: [[GWR 813 Saddle Tank | 813]] arrives on 25 November.
==1968==
*April 1968: An Easter Steam Gala is held featuring No 3205 (this was before regular public passenger services had begun).
*May 1968: [[LMS Jinty 47383 | 47383]] arrives on 26 May.
*July 1968: [[Peckett 1738 | Peckett 1738]] arrives on 13 July.
