VINTAGE CARRIAGES TRUST TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT( coMiMutdJ YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORlItANCE General The Annual General Meeting on 9th November 2024 saw the election of Debbie Cross as chairman, taking th¢ reins as the fIfth cliairman in tlie nearly sixty-year history of VCT. Witli Debbie's immediate predecessor, Trevor England, seTh'ing for thity years. Trustees eommend his work in supportiiig Vcrs developnient over the decades. Dave Carr also stood down frorn the secretaws role after eigliteen years, handing over the baton to Kad]arin¢ Carlton. Thank you to both Trevor and Dave for their years of sterling service and continued 5UPPOrt. Immediately after the AGM, t>ave Carr, Sheila Seabrook and Ruth Wilson were co-opted to the Board of Trusfres for one year at the subsequent Trustees, meeting. In ternis of personnel, after three years with VCT, Richard Jones left Ingrow to start a new role as Operations Manager atthe Llangollen Railway. In addition to his front-of-house role, Richard undertook 'behind-the-scenes' duties, such as writing policy docuTDents and risk assessments. We have welcomed Chris Hale}, to join John Astley, looking after the shop and museum. VCT Trustees are saddened to report the deaths ofTrustee Sarah A5tley. fornier employee Keith Pitts and founding member and fornier chainnan, Tony Cox. Their contributions to VCT were invaluable and they will be deeply missed. In a challenging economic enviroment. financial matters continue to be of concern, with competitive quotations sought for insurance renewals and from suppliers. A small team continue to seek grant funding from appropriate sources and income is generated from shop sales, especTally confectionery, rnilwayana and model railway sales. VCT'S partnership with the Bahamas Locomotive Society (BLS) and the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway (KWVR) remains key to ticket and Rail Story income. We received just over 14,000 visilors during the year, down from the highs of the previous year where the numbers were boosted by a one off by the visit of 'Flying Scotsman, positioned just outside the Museum. However, the good news is that our visitor numbers are back to the same levets we enjoyed before the Covid pandemic. Museum The most visible prOg￿5S made this year has been the continuing museum refurbishment. The entire 'shop' side of the museum was refurbished on time and on budget by late 2024. Anecdotally, visitors are spending more titne looking at the displays and interpretation panels. January l February 2025 saw the recladding of three bays on the 'rail' side of the museum and the viewing area above the workshop. The museum t]oor was atso repainted and visitors have commented on the fresher, brighter appearance of the museum. Trustees wish to thank aIl those who have contributed to the redisplay work. The collections team have also been busy identifying objects for conservation work. After many years in storage, 'The Waverley, carriage board w&5 cleaned and cOnser￿ed at Graham Key's studio and is now on display in the niuseum. VCT was also successful in securing a grant from The Pilgrim Trust for the stabilisation. cleaning and conservation of The Bradshaw Map. whiclL whilst on display, was difficult to see due to yellowing varnish and mould. This is being treated at Artworks Conservation and will be back on display alongside the Scarborough timetable Scroll.
