Volunteers' Diary

We usually have working parties every Saturday and Sunday, doing a wide variety of jobs in Dereham Station and along the line. There are also mid-week gangs who do jobs such as drainage, fencing and vegetation clearance. If you are interested in any of these, then please get in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator, Matt Goodrum, who will be delighted to hear from you. To advertise a work party that you are organising, e-mail the web maintainer.
You are reminded that railways can be dangerous places, and that you should never venture out onto the line unless you have a current Personal Track Safety Certificate. For insurance purposes, all our volunteers must be members.
News from past work parties is also available.
