2024 CHAIRMAN'S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
As I proudly look back over 2024 and reflect on the 50th anniversary celebrations of The Pennine Railway Society, I feel honoured to have been part of it. When we decided to form The Pennine Railway Society in 1974, we had no idea that in 2024 we would still be here with a healthy society celebrating 50 years. What an achievement!
The celebratory lunch on The Great Central, the 50th anniversary meeting with a presentation by our Treasurer John Sanderson (now also official society historian) on 6th November; the special birthday cake and The Grumpy Old Men photograph all contributed to a very successful 2024.
Speakers have said to me over the years; “I enjoy coming to do a show at Pennine, it’s a great audience, knowledgeable with a lovely atmosphere”. Praise Indeed!
So that’s a big thankyou to you the membership (and the committee) for making The Pennine Railway Society what it is today.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Looking forward to seeing you all in 2025.
Robin Skinner
CHAIRMAN
