Achievements alld PerformaDce In October 2019 we had successfully celebrdted our 50 Anniversary of the handing over ceremony for the Light Railway by Bowaters United Kin¥dotn Paper Company which crea￿1 the Sittingtrf)urne and Kemsley Light Railway. Sadly, our celebrntions of the 50 anniversary Lif our firsi passenger trains in the Spring of 1970 had to be cancelled in 2020 but we hope to mark the occasion as soon as pra¢tical tn the future. The CoronaviTU5 pandernic resulted in us beillg ullable to start our plantted services at Easter 2020 and we were required to close the railway completely from March until Jtjne 2020 resulting in tDezllber5 beillg UDable lo complete the 2019120 winter prowamme of maintenance and repairs. After a loi of backgrimrnd WO￿ a safe working environment was estsblished and working volunteers were able io return to the railway in June 2020. Wilh funher work we were able to commence a reduce4J passenger service with appropriate distallcI￿g and extrd hygiene and cleaning arrangements from the tr￿glE￿ing of Augus12020.

Unfortunately. we were not perniittedto open forourpopular Christmas trnins in Deeember 2020 which left us with a %ignificant revenue gap at the eDd of the year. Up to the end of2020 we received grdnts forsupportofsmall businesses from thegovernmeni (administered by Swale Borough Council) totalling £11,334 which, combined with current cxpenditure reductions whilst the county was locked down, has provided support to partially cover the shortfall in revenues frorn nottna] activÈties. Tolal appeal donations have delivered about £31.000 io fund ongoing work on the railway and we are extremely grate￿1 to our Enember5 and oth¢rs for th¢ir support during these difficult times. In October 2020 we were awarded a signifiGqnt govtrnm¢nt Department for Digital. Culture.
