    In addition to the Boscastle Official Supporters Club, with its monthly e mails, there is now a Facebook site for the supporters and other interested people, who may prefer that method of communication.

    During the shed tours it was good to see that parts of the boiler cladding were being prepared. These fit on top of the firebox.

    There will be "Boscastle Shed tours" on the Saturday and Sunday (Nov 16th, 17th) of the GCR Last Hurrah Gala, so an opportunity to walk up to the shed and go with a guide to see the work going on inside. The tours are free, but a donation towards the overhaul of Boscastle is appreciated.
    More parts for the tender have been made and fitted.

    There was a letter sent out to the shareholders last week following the AGM. The directors are looking for more help as the long standing and very valued Company secretary (John Woodward) has not stood for re election and is retiring. Any offers of help will be Much appreciated ...... The job can be split up to suit applicants skills. More details via our website or PM me.
    We are close to getting Boscastle back into steam but need fresh people to join our team.

    The Shed Tours were very popular yesterday with a steady flow of visitors from 10.30 to 4pm. There were several parts of the firebox cladding on view that had been prepped and primered. So steady progress by the team.
