WSRHT Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM)

As Members will know, we have issued the attached information pack giving details of the forthcoming AGM to be held on Friday, 23 July 2021 by Zoom. Unfortunately, due to an oversight, I neglected to inform you of the time of the meeting! Please accept my apologies. The meeting will take place at 5:30 PM that evening and will be a very short one to announce the outcome of the voting on the Special Resolution to adopt the new Articles of Association.

There has also been a query about the reference in the Notice of the Meeting to an appendix to the Special Resolution. This refers to the Articles as indicated in the body of the Notice.

Steve Williams Acting Chairman

Trust News on Toplight Carriage No. 3639

WSRHT News on Toplight Carriage No. 3639

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust is pleased to confirm the move of Toplight carriage no. 3639 from Williton to Washford was completed by a WSR PLC team using two shunters on Monday 7th October. 

The special train also carried a wreath in memory of Ronnie Wainhouse who passed away recently.  Ronnie was a well loved member of the carriage restoration team working for the past 10 years on both 6705 and 3639 – he will be sorely missed.

Due to the poor condition of the carriage, the move was completed using a specially devised safety procedure (as used for moving the earlier carriages from Dunster) at a maximum speed of 5mph with careful monitoring along the way before arriving safely at Washford.

The restoration of 3639 has been ongoing for many years at Williton without using any covered accommodation. The move to Washford brings a much improved environment for the Trust’s carriage restoration team with the carriage now residing under cover in the shed at Washford next to Collett carriage no. 6705 where restoration work will be carried out on both carriages.
