A different day today, with much of the day taken up with attending, or subsequent discussions on the Volunteer's Meeting arrange by the GWSR Board at Toddington.
From my own perspective I sense, with the Board reshaped, that we can turn the page and start a new chapter, with much to look forward to at the GWSR in the coming years. This confidence is based on the Board 's promise to improved communications with the volunteer work force. This will re establish mutual trust, which is so necessary to meet the challenges ahead. There is much to be done to reach Broadway......... Bill
The Saturday Gang kept up the tradition of business as usual, with bricklaying, brick cleaning, landscaping, and, yes, Oh joy, ditch clearing!

| Platform 2B now rising from the ashes... |

| Down in the car park Dave and John continue with the clearance of the drainage ditch |
Vic continued with the landscaping task opposite the Shed, and Keith and Peter cleaned yet more bricks.
Broadway will be back to normal business on Wednesday - keep a look out the for the start of the next projects!

You know, I don't think it was emphasised how good this share offer actually is. For an initial purchase of £100 (70, if you are a taxpayer and can claim the £30 back), You get £45 worth of tickets per year for evermore!
Or am I wrong?
I'm sure you're right. Such a bargain is not to be missed, if you have £100 to spare right now. Even if you get free travel as a volunteer, you can use the tickets for your family/friends.
When I bought my shares many years ago the threshold for free tickets was £50. I can't remember how many tickets that qualified you for. Now it it is £100 and one day it will be higher but it is still a good deal and don't let that stop you supporting the railway. Ian
As regards item 1 it is worth noting the text on page 12 of the Bridges to Broadway document:
"The Directors may review shareholder benefits from time to time, but no earlier than 2016."
