“CALL FOR NEW VOLUNTEERS”

The 6880 Betton Grange Group have started to plan the next Gala.  

Scheduled for 2009, they are looking to make it bigger and better than the last one

- which will take some doing!

they are  anxious to ensure that even more volunteers are involved next time.

Link to Volunteers Page for more detailed information on jobs which can be done

SO, if you have been a member for some time and have not yet become active, or are a potential new member interested in doing something at the railway - NOW’S YOUR CHANCE!

     The best way to get to know more is to arrive on the platform at Llangollen Station after 10:00 am and just talk to people. We are a friendly bunch  and any form of help is welcome.

There is time to get involved, learn the ropes, get that all-important PTS Trackside Pass and start getting your hands dirty!!

We look forward to meeting you - just contact David Farrer,

the Volunteer Co-ordinator via the Railway Office on 01978 860 979!
