Pat and Dennis have done sterling work getting the membership records up to date, and over two thousand mailings have now gone out from the new friends offices in building 79.
We have taken over direct responsibility for the mailing out of the Friends copies of “Saved Magazine” and also successfully produced our four editions of the new format “Friends newsletter.”
The 29th edition of saved magazine will hopefully be with us soon, we have been assured it will be worth the long weight!
If you have not received your copies by late April than can you please E mail me, or write into the Friends office here at Weedon.
We would welcome any letters or contributions that any of you may have for inclusion in
either of our publications.
OUR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
It is very pleasing to report that our 2007 Friends Annual General meeting took place at Weedon last August. The meeting held in the ground floor of building 5 drew together the largest number of friends seen at an AGM for some many years.
Norman Dickerson Chairman of the FSNMT outlined some of the major changes that will need to take place with the way that the working parties are organised in future with the team working for the
Trust under a newly appointed Engineering manager.
After the meeting Friends were to be able to go on tours of some of the buildings that the collection is housed in. There was a chance to meet service team members and view the work in progress.
Due to other commitments we were unable to provide a full BBQ this year but Aubyn stepped in with the railway burger bar to feed the gathered hungry guests.
Please note the Date for the 2008 AGM is the 7th June
