At this year's ACoRP Community Rail Awards held at the Telford International Centre in Shropshire on Thursday 3rd October we were delighted to be awarded a PLATINUM certificate of excellence in the It's Your Station category for our environmental and community work. This is a new level in the competition higher than the gold we won last year! Only 4 station friends groups in the UK reached this level - ourselves, Buxton, Hindley and Mytholmroyd. Hindley was given the lead award at this level - a thoroughly deserved win! We send our congratulations to Sheila and Sandy at Hindley - a station well worth taking a trip to. It was with real pleasure that we joined Buxton for shared photos. Dave and Sue Carlisle share the same pride in Buxton that we have in our station and its environment.
Also gaining success locally were Friends of Rose Hill with a first prize for their Inter Generational Community Art project - on display outside the station. Our congratulations to Rachel, Brian, Craig and team.
Mytholmroyd was awarded for making an outstanding contribution to Community Rail. Again anyone who has visited this station will see why!! Well done to Sue and Geoff who spearhead the work there.
It was a lovely evening - our thanks to Hazel, Dawn and the team at ACoRP for all the hard work in dealing with over 400 guests.
Our thanks also to Carolyn Watson and Becky Stiles at Northern for their ongoing support and hospitality on the night. Much, much appreciated!!
