Two Separate Shows attended over a Single Weekend

The Surrey Support Group represented the L&B with their sales and publicity stand at the two-day Railway Weekend Gala on the 5th/6th June at the Hollycombe Working Steam Museum.

Sales were reasonable, and we would like to thank the following members who assisted at the event: David Abrahim, Bob Brown, Chris Dadson, Paul Gower, Peter Jones, Geoff Kingate, Phil Rawstron, and Fran Smith.

The L&B Surrey Group took its sales stand to the Railway Enthusiasts Club Model Railway Show at Woking Leisure Center for the weekend of 12/13 th September.

This weekend marks the Surrey Group Exhibition Stand’s last outing for this year. I would like to give many thanks to all those who have assisted with manning the stand during the year. At this point it is worth reflecting on our achievements for the year.

I was surprised to discover that we have actually attended ten shows this year. In addition to raising awareness of the L&B project in the South London Area, we have also been able to provide significant financial support to the developments at Woody Bay in the following ways:

We have attended six major events in the first half of this year. The funds raised were initially channelled towards completion of the Water Tank Project. However since we completed that job we have been able to divert our funds towards other ventures.

Surrey Group member David Pritchard has been passed on the railway in Devon, to be the first member of the Surrey Group who is a Driver.

Good progress is being made on the top for the water tank at Woody Bay.
