AOB

As always we are looking for more volunteers/trustees to get involved in these projects – blurb below for sharing please. We would love any interested parties to get in touch.

Trustee info – https://reachvolunteering.org.uk/opp/board-trustee-20

We are looking for volunteers also to help with various parts of delivering these amazing projects – social media expertise, planning support, story writing, completing funding requests, visiting the stations, meeting other community rail partnerships over Scotland and engaging with our communities. You are entitled to free travel along the line whilst taking part in CRP duties and we are a fun group of people just trying to improve the bridge between the railways and the communities they serve. You do not need to be an expert in railways, you just need to want to make a difference and have fun doing it. Contact Suzie on suziemccheyne1@gmail.com if interested.

Next meeting: Tuesday 10th January @2pm zoom or hopefully David Livingstone centre.
