Dear Member
My first year of being your Chairman has been one of excitement and anticipation in equal measure but also one of great satisfaction. So, before I launch into a report of what we have been doing this year and explaining what we are trying to achieve overall I would like to thank some people who have been instrumental in us being where we are today.
Firstly, I would like to thank our Trustees who have supported all of us in what we do and in particular Geoff Childs and his daughter Suzie who produce our very professional newsletter for you, our members.
I would also like to thank James Packman, Colin Savage and the Directors of our sister Operating Company for their help and support this year. Between our two organisations we are a very strong team and that is vital to our ability to move forward with our future plans. It is only by working together and planning what we do that we will be able to be as successful as we need to be to achieve our joint goals.
My thanks also must go to Sir Peter Hendy Chairman, Network Rail for his continuing support for our project and for his help and guidance.
Helston Railway Preservation Society, your Charity, exists to support the renovation and preservation of stock and structures at Helston Railway, and to promote the railway and its history. So, what have we been doing this year to meet those aims. I’m going to start with some of the smaller things because sometimes they have the most immediate impact on the experience of our volunteers and visitors.
The charity funded and installed the railway’s first proper toilets complete with hot water and this has been appreciated by visitors and volunteers alike.
Through a generous donation we have funded the upgrade to the car park area with the building of new retaining walls and fences, flowerbeds and picnic benches and that donation also provided the Roadrailer with a new radiator.
With local firm Truro Tractors we have purchased a flail for use with the Roadrailer. This was funded by our Development Fund which was first suggested at a previous AGM.
We have funded the renovation of carriages so that the Operating Company are now able to offer two carriage trains in service.
At Truthall we have installed fencing and gates to the field plus have rebuilt the linesman’s hut in traditional materials at the approach to Truthall Halt.
We are also in the process of purchasing a Defibrillator and are investigating ways of providing green energy to the Trevarno site.
In addition, we are supporting the Operating Company in their task of completing the Engine Shed construction and we are talking with planning consultants about permissions to install track beyond Truthall Halt where we already own the track bed.
In addition to all the above we are also in negotiations with a number of landholders adjacent to our property with the intention of providing a new entrance to Trevarno Farm and also to acquire the use of track bed towards Helston. This coming year we hope that we will be able to report that we are ready to move into the fundraising stage of these endeavours.
Lastly may I thank you, our members, for continuing to support our project, it has been 20 years in the making and I trust that you, like us, are still enjoying our journey. I suspect the most exciting bit is yet to come!
Best wishes
Barbara Barnes. Chairman HRPS 12[th] October 2022
