Dean Forest Railway Museum Trust CIO
Chairman's Report
2022 has been a year of recovery after 2020 and 2021 and the drop in visitor numbers to the railway in general during the COVID pandemic. Thankfully the number of visitors to the museum has started to increase once more and hopefully that is a trend that will continue. A great deal of work has been done during the year in question on a number of projects, particularly on the proposed museum annex in the goods shed at Parkend and also on an interactive display based upon the 2-chain survey maps recently purchased at auction. A couple of museum artefacts have recently appeared on the small screen including the pump trolley and the refreshment trolley. Financially we are just about holding our own, how income can be increased is difficult to say as we are reliant upon donations in the main but we are beginning to look hard at grant funding and may take on a professional to seek such grants for us.
The Chair would like to thank all of the trustees for their hard work and dedication during the year.
