Restoration Plans and Working Party
Dates
Working
parties are normally held each third full weekend of the month, however, there are a number of exceptions..
The majority of those involved
in the
restoration work are either drivers or fireman on the railway and their
services are quite often needed for running the railway during much of
the year so
in all likelihood the winter period will see most progress on the loco.
However, it has been decided that this should not preclude summer
working
parties therefore work on the loco will continue throughout the year
with the exception of August, the peak period on the railway.
On top of the working weekends a group
known
as Team Wylfa hold regular working parties at Dinas on Tuesday evenings
and when their services are not required for other tasks they also
work on
number 134. Indeed, it is Team Wylfa that have kept the
restoration project alive for the past few years.
The
dates have been set for the working party weekends in the first half of
2010:
April: 17-18th Week after Easter
May: 8-9th Beer festival weekend -- Note this is the 2nd weekend of the Month
June: 19-20th
July: 17-18th
Anyone wishing to come along to the help will be made most
welcome HOWEVER please do not arrive unannounced. Work is taking place
on WHR grounds and we need to inform the relevant people who is going
to be
on-site so please contact either Peter Randall or Andie Shaw in the
first
instance or Clive Briscoe for Team Wilfa. Details on the Contacts page.
