Hi there, just read your brilliant post on the recent CME, a slight correction, the Fireman on both the outward and return legs of this was Martyn Soames, Chris Holmes fired Hellifield to Preston only on the return leg, J

Love mainline steam trains

Yep, that's the one. I attended the Church and Sunday School in 1959/60. The choice was made on the basis of its location next to the viaduct rather than any religious leanings! I think it was a "Congregational Church" at the time. We lived on Belvidere Road adjacent to 'The Column' where the 'new' Shirehall is. We moved to Church Stretton in 1960. My sister lives in Dorrington but I moved to Australia in 1977

Hi Tom

I co-edit the monthly SVR newsletters. I only saw yours for the first time last night. 32 contributors? Fortnightly? That's a real achievement. Well done

If you (a) would like to and (b) can find the time I wouldn't mind having a chat through what you're doing and how, and am happy to share anything you might find helpful. Just let me know if this'd be of interest, or not.

Cheers

Patrick

Hello! Don't know if you've heard from anyone else, but trustfundraising@avonvalleyrailway.org should do the trick - that will reach Roger Eynon, who heads the fundraising team and is also Trust chair. I'm also a volunteer fundraiser so feel free to copy me in - cosmobonsor@yahoo.co.uk.

Many thanks,
Andrew.

Yes, having a fully functional locomotive and not steaming it was frustrating. Our luck was the amount of things to do, that kept us busy, and the support of those visiting our premises.

Paul, please can you give me a bell on 07787 967694 re Chares Whytock. Thanks.
