@SW_Help big shout out to Guard - Luke on the 15.12 from Waterloo (Platform 8) to Portsmouth Harbour yesterday. His comms throughout the disrupted journey (bridge strike near Fareham) were exemplary. He’s a credit to the SW Railway team.
Absolute pleasure to host my youngest daughter - Alice (in the yellow skirt), and her best friends. Most of them are former Springfield School students now living and working in London.
As a special bonus, they also got to see the fore topsail from HMS Victory.
A great start to yesterday’s AGM with a harbour trip aboard Foxtrot 8. Thanks to Jill Strachan for organising.
Then on to the formal business, including thanking Rev David Stephen Butler for 22 years of service as a PRDHT Trustee. His commitment has been greatly appreciated.
My wonderful assistant, Jeanette Huitson, with Tony and Valerie Ward.
And Valerie viewing the Rate Book entry for her great-grandfather, William Goulding, who was born in 1890.
