Members Working Days
Following the great success of our first special 'Members Working Day' in November 2019, we are holding similar working days on the first Sunday of each alternate month, starting in February 2022. Members all work together with numerous tasks on the loco and enjoy a fantastic buffet lunch produced by one of the volunteer's wife. No specific skills are needed, just enthusiasm….we’ll guide you through the various work needed.
What’s in it for you? We’ll provide some lunch, you’ll be helping to get 133 back in service and you’ll get to learn new skills/apply existing ones along with meeting the friendly bunch who work in the diesel shed at weekends.
Interested? Just get in touch via Facebook or the contact page and we’ll do the rest.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
