West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust WSRHT

New Trustee joins the Board

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust is delighted to welcome Mike Lee as our latest new Trustee to join the board.

Mike is a retired engineer, having worked in the military for both the RAF and the MOD, the latter as an engineering designer, specialising in how to produce safer, more reliable and easier to maintain complex military systems. 

He retired to Minehead two years ago after a 50-year working career, having previously spent many years visiting from Bristol to enjoy his passion for fishing, and he now plans to stay in the area.

Whilst he intends to enjoy his hobby locally, he still wants to use his skills and experience by helping to keep one of the South West’s most valuable heritage attractions moving ahead and has agreed that he will specifically focus on safety at the WSRHT, ensuring we continue to operate to the highest standards.

The WSRHT board warmly welcomes Mike aboard and looks forward to benefiting from his significant breadth of skills in helping the Trust to evolve further in the future.

Join us as a Museum Volunteer.

WEST SOMERSET RAILWAY HERITAGE TRUST

DO YOU:

Love a bit of history?

Enjoy chatting to people?

Happy to work with children and families?

Keen on the WSR and its heritage?

If you’ve nodded “yes” to any of the above, we’d love you to join us as a museum volunteer.

Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor

We’re looking for volunteer stewards for the Gauge Museum at Blue Anchor Station on running days during the school holidays and for special events.

You’ll have an induction period alongside a mentor, and we’re very happy to arrange part-day shifts.

The role is simple: welcome visitors, share a little about the museum, and work alongside the station staff.

Interested (or just curious)? Please email Ian Camp (Curator) via info@wsrht.co.uk and put “Blue Anchor stewarding” in the subject line.

Fancy getting involved over at Bishops Lydeard?

We’re on the lookout for more friendly faces to join our team, especially as the museum is getting bigger and busier these days!

If Bishops Lydeard sounds like your kind of place, just drop us a line using the same email, but pop “Bishops Lydeard stewarding” in the subject so we know what you’re after!

And don’t forget – you can always support the WSRHT by becoming a member. Just ping us at info@wsrht.co.uk and pop “membership” in the subject line.

Keep up with what we’re doing, follow the Trust on Facebook!
