Yes, I and my brother will most certainly be hovering around giggling like school girls at all the clag and thrash and what-have-you.
Hopefully we'll run into some of you, who knows?  While we're on the subject, does anyone reccomend good places to capture good photos / videos on the ELR outside of station platforms? Also I find the ELR's ticketing structure somewhat confusing? What would be the best ticket for the day? I have a smallish budget since my brother is not earning at the moment and I'll have to pay for two.

There are sevral places you ca try to get some good photos and videos.
There is a good spot at Irwell Vale it is on the other side of the station. There is a bench that you can use and there. It is very good for getting trains heading towards Rawtenstall from Ramsbottom. Burrs Country Park has the East Lancs running striaght through it and you can pictures of trains on either side of the Line.

Burrs country park is my favorite - big area with plenty of options
Summerseat also with pictures on the viaduct from the road and also at the tunnel Ramsbottom station at both ends gives double possiblities plus the station itself Irwell vale station and also at Ewood bridge. Even the center of Bury taking pictures of them coming over "The hump" is interesting and also rounding the curve into Bury station from the carpark

Thank you for the suggestions. I have my FirstWeek bus ticket so I might do some exploring on Friday and come down properly on Saturday and have a ride also.

Went to Burrs today(Tuesday) and posted a couple of pictures on the forum.
Might return again tomorrow but alas my camera has developed a fault on returning home - sd cards wont stay in the camera - it keeps pushng them out  - so might need sending off for repairs. Have a small Kodak I could use in the meantime though.Roster for event is on the ELR Webby
