MHRPS Local Groups information
| The thousands of visitors who ride
on the line each year generate the income to keep the trains rolling, but
preservation and conservation are not cheap. It cost over £1,000,000
to relay the track from Ropley to Alton, even though the labour was voluntary.
The Society uses members' subscriptions to provide additional funding for
projects, thus membership is a very positive way of providing "armchair"
support to the volunteers of the Watercress Line. In return you will receive
4 issues per year of the Society's colour journal Mid-Hants News, which is
full of the latest news, information, features and photographs.
For further information on Society membership please contact the Watercress Line directly or e-mail Alan Fairbrother, the Society's Membership Director. To join the Society (or renew your membership), please print and complete the membership form, and return it to the Watercress Line's Membership Director. |
