On Wednesday March 26th Neil represented FOGS at an ACoRP Station Adoption event at Birmingham. As always it was a pleasure to share problems and progress with fellow volunteers from different parts of the UK. Daphne is now the Chair of the much praised Leighton Buzzard group. We learned of Dorridge's recent success at turning a "shed" on the platform into a GWR style waiting room with appropriate furnishings! Their photos looked stunning. Definitely on the to visit list! We learned too of the progess of a relatively new group at Sowerby Bridge as well as hearing from our old friends at Handforth, chapel and New Mills
It was good to meet up with Peter Hayward from Dronfield who updated us with a very informative leaflet as to how the group had coped with 5 recent weeks of buses replacing trains due to a landslide at Unstone near Chesterfield. The event was chaired with good humour and expertise by Brian Barnsley and Peter Roberts from ACoRP.
