Geoff Evens Retires: WSRHT AGM 2024 Summary

WSRHT AGM 2024 & Farewell to Geoff Evens

The Trust AGM was held last Saturday and saw the retirement of Geoff Evens who stood down from the Board after over 30 years service on the West Somerset Railway. Geoff was presented with a special cake baked and decorated by Pam and Helen Anson.

Mike Thompson Trust Chairman said “Geoff has been one of our longest serving Trustees. He has been involved with the WSR in a variety of roles across the West Somerset Railway PLC, West Somerset Railway Association and the Heritage Trust during his time on the railway.  He has been a stalwart of our board for several years and his enthusiasm, commitment and wider knowledge of the railway has been invaluable, especially to me personally when I took on the role of Chairman of the board. 

Geoff will be sorely missed and I want to pay tribute and give thanks for everything he has done for the WSR, not just the Heritage Trust”.

A full report of the AGM will be sent to Trust members in due course.
