Community Matters

The Surgery forms part of the local community and we feel that it would be useful to signpost you to the websites that can offer you help and support not only with your health, but with other matters that affect your quality of life.

We believe strongly that our community matters.

Summerfields Miniature Railways

The Summerfields Railway has been built by the Bedford Model Engineering Society as a place for members to run their locos.  It is actually three railways all linked together, Summerfields, Winterfield and Springfield.  On certain days of the year we open our railway to the public so that you can come along and see what we do.  For a small fare you can take a trip on our steam or diesel service around any of our three railways. We also try to have a half scale steam bus at our open days giving rides, this was built by one of our members.  Its all great fun for kids, and adults seem to love it too!
