prepared, ready for the timber opening formers
John Williams may be leading the team in rebuilding the main stone and brickwork.

WHHG - AGM Report | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
To quote the chairman “I enjoy AGM’s!” - Our 13th was no exception, being well attended by virtue of the weekend attracting many supporters of the Porthmadog-based railways for the various special events. Our railway was and continues to be people-orientated and the AGM provides an opportunity to meet members old and new. This is perhaps even more important than the business we are obliged to conduct! Due to members’ generosity and an element of commercial success our finances are healthy; the only frustration being our inability to donate further to other peripheral causes such as the Kerr Stuart rebuild and archival material restoration. |
