Report of March 2018 VoBR Trust Board Meeting
Hello Everyone This is the first blog about the activities of the Trust Board of the Vale of Berkeley Railway Charitable Trust . The intention is to fill a hole in how we as a railway communicate with people out there who are interested in our progress to reopen the Sharpness Branch Line by explaining regularly the Trust Board's activities, its thinking and what it has decided recently. Everyone knows that we are now a charity which has freed us up to get on with building the railway and the job of the Trust Board is to get on with sorting out the organisational issues that we need to deal with, if we are to have an operating railway. We still hope this can be achieved by 2020 so there is a lot to do. In 2018, it is all about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY and how we get it! Yes, there are many other things we have to keep an eye on but we are now focussing firmly on how to raise probably £200K which is the guestimate for what it will cost to provide the basic infrastructure to run
