Work in Progress
Posted: Mon May 06, 2013 9:20 pm
For those members reading this, you will no doubt be up to date with events via the Members' area of this forum or by the quarterly newsletters you have received.
Most interested non-members will probably have a good idea of progress made as we have held several open meetings & events since we first gained access to our site near Fimber in October. Development has been rapid, especially considering the winter we have had.
The Visitor Centre coach arrived from Gloucester on January 17th (the temperature peaked at -5C that day!) & the locomotive only a couple of weeks ago. Today (Bank Holiday Monday) it was somewhat warmer!
Sterling help from our many volunteers both on & off site, significant funding from "LEADER", & support from Trackwork Ltd has enabled us to develop the site relatively quickly.
If you are interested in this project; which will be East Yorkshire's ONLY heritage railway, please come along to one of our many events held during the year. We will also be at Sledmere Nostalgia Weekend, Driffield Show & Driffield Steam Rally over the summer. We have various other trips & fund-raising events lined up, which are locally advertised in advance.
Due to construction on the site, we can unfortunately not allow unaccompanied visits & we hope to open the site to the public later this year. If you would like to know more or are interested in joining, please email or 'phone us; alternatively please use this thread.
