REMINDER – JOIN THE RAILWAY VOLUNTEERS 27 & 28 APRIL
The recruitment weekend will be taking place very shortly but it’s not too late to join in. Remember this is your chance to find out what you can do for the railway as a volunteer and why people enjoy it so much.
We will need to know if you want to come on the Saturday or the Sunday. You will need to wear stout shoes or boots as in places the ground surfaces at Boston Lodge and Minffordd Yard are uneven and, as we can never guarantee good weather, it is probably wise to bring waterproofs. Refreshments including a sandwich lunch will be provided.
To register your interest and obtain an application form please email joinin@ffwhr.com We look forward to meeting you. Howard Wilson
