The Thames Valley Group meeting at Ardington was actually held LAST Saturday, rather than NEXT Saturday as advertised on the website.  The date had to change due to a clash of events.
 
Please accept our apologies to anyone who may have intended to attend but missed out as a result. 
 
More details of the activities of the group can be found HERE and I hope to have a report of the meeting posted there shortly.

The main access driveway to Woody Bay Station from the carpark is of course well used by vehicles as well as visitors walking to and from their cars. It is important to give a good first impression and in recent years the driveway has become pitted in places. The coaches usually reverse down the drive. The narrowness of the path often causes the coaches difficulty during their reversing manoeuvre.

Thinking of Giving? Gift Aid explained

Mar

2011

As a charity, the L&BR Trust is able to take advantage of Gift Aid - giving us 25% more from your generous donations.

To qualify, you must be a UK taxpayer, and complete a Gift Aid declaration in favour of the Trust.

So if you would like to let the L&B take advantage of this government generosity, and you haven't already done so, please fill in and return the Gift Aid form. Once this is received, we will be able to reclaim the tax on all your donations for the previous six years; this can soon add up to quite a sum.

The Special Events Team at Woody Bay are looking for flags, pennants, bunting and similar items to give the station area more of a festive atmosphere during galas and other events.

If you have any to spare, or know of anyone who does, and would be willing to donate something to this appeal, just send your unwanted reds, whites and blues (or any other colours for that matter!) to The Special Events Team, Woody Bay Station, Parracombe, Devon, EX31 4RA,  or email!

Thank you!
