Chairpersons report :
Mark Thomas reviewed the many highlights of the year including:
Our partnership agreements with the Vale of Berkeley Railway, South Wales Cab Yard and LTTG which have been of mutual benefit to all parties.
The much improved profile of the railway including a number of appearances on National TV.
Improved facilities on site including the new Toilet Block and much improved shop.
Reference was made to the sad passing of our previous Chairman Desmond Thomas, and the meeting recorded its gratitude to him for leading the railway through its early years of development.
Mark then moved on to current activities and future developments, highlighting:
The class 153 bodyshell which will provide a much better basis for our Community Cafe project
Gifting of the wooden coach to the Llanelli Goods Shed Trust
Procurement of a catering trailer to provide much better refreshment facilities on site and training opportunities in advance of the Community Cafe initiative
Hope to extend the track further, but current material costs an issue. Keith Morey is investigating contacts with Section Managers for PW at Swansea which might provide some gifted track materials.
lay Area and Woodland Walks to be developed with partners as grants become available.
Mark also reported that a number of tour groups are booked for visits this year plus an immersive theatre production in September.
This concluded the Chairman’s Report

the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
