EOR were pleased to have been invited, and attend the Loughton Festival on Saturday (24th). This was held at St. Mary’s Church and Bob Gillman (one of our Volunteer Liaison officers) reports… “As the weather was so fine it was decided to hold the event on the front lawn, which gave access to a lot of people passing by along the High Street. Quite a number of leaflets and membership forms were given out after much friendly interest and conversation. Fellow volunteer Dave Regan also helped man the stand and we took a number of enquiries from a wide variety of ages, interested in all manner of volunteering opportunities on the railway”.
The festival was also attended by Volunteer Action Epping Forest, the railway being a member of this voluntary groups signposting service:
