FoSS memberships are now due
Happy New Year!
2021 was a better year on the WSR with the support of our members and we saw many visitors at the station with social distancing, of course. We intend to continue in 2022 with these precautions so that all our visitors can feel confident that it is safe at our station. Many details, with pictures, of the work done at the station are on this website, so we will just summarise the details here.
The treasurer reports that in 2020 we made a loss of £6375 but we have made that up in 2021 whilst continuing with maintenance and project work. We are now in a position to be able to pay all the major bills for the station and do most of the maintenance work. We are grateful that WSR repaired the tarmac drive.
- The cattle dock should be opened during the Spring Gala.
- We are grateful to RAMS for rebuilding the two main gates and renovating the large luggage trolley. Both should be in position in the spring of 2022.
- We are continuing to secure the fabric of the lineside hut by making the pre-cast concrete frame stronger and providing a new external door and frame.
- Work on the garden continues as we remove much of the overgrown bank to reveal more ground!.
- Our workshop has been improved with a larger bench and more tools.
