Some of the EORVS volunteers manned a table at the Shelley Community Event in Ongar on 9th March. Thanks to Bill Dale, John Dickenson, Carl Walker, Andrew Cook, Ron Abercrombie and Simon Hannay for putting the time in to attend this event which gave visitors the opportunity to see what’s been going on – and what’s going to happen at the railway.
Our stand was next to the F5 steam loco project stand and it was nice to talk to kindred spirit Steve Cooper, who is also an EORVS member.
The event attracted a wide spectrum of visitors, ranging from professionals from other organisations, Council officials and parents with children. It proved to be a good public relations exercise, as there were many local people interested in the railway who were talking to us and taking away copies of our new volunteer appeal leaflet.
A big thank you to member Paul Hale who donated the printing of the leaflets via his company ‘Concept Communications’ at Bishops Stortford. http://www.conceptcomms.com/
