## **Treasurer’s Report** 

The group has been able to pay for some repairs to the locomotive and the engine has now been reunited with the body. The resultant publicity and social media exposure has led to a slight increase in membership. That said, the group still faces a significant challenge to raise the necessary funds to complete the repairs and ‘repatriate’ the loco to the Mid Norfolk Railway at Dereham. Once there, completion of the restoration can take place ‘in house.’ 

The group entered the new financial year without debt and with the 



established sales function and management structures in place.
