I have an annual travelcard with a Gold record card.
I have read somewhere that I can get a Network card for a friend for £1.
Is this correct ?

Yes. See
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/fares-tick...r-period.shtml
and read the "Plus" section.

Does anyone know where I can do this ?

Most major stations should do this - I got one for £1 today at Kings
Cross Thameslink thanks to a friendly co-worker.

See http://www.railcard.co.uk/network/network.htm
"To apply for a Network Railcard, pick up a leaflet at any staffed
rail station or rail appointed Travel Agent in the Network Railcard
area."

Get your "relative or friend" to complete a 'Network Railcard'
application and go to a railway station with your GoldCard, and hand
over the form.

I want to get the Network card for my mum, does she need to be with me to
get it ?

Can't really see why. When I did it today, there was no checking of
personal information or signatures - I could have been anyone. The
staff are supposed to complete the reverse of the Goldcard indicating
a discounted Network Card has been purchased - but this didn't happen
in my co-workers case. So it means he could get another £1 card for
someone else!

Best £19 I've not spent in ages. ;-)
