A significant part of the railway’s income comes from coach
and private party bookings. In many
cases the availability of special catering (cream tea, tea and cakes or fish
and chips) dictates whether we get this business. The On Train Catering dept. volunteers are
struggling to cover all of these duties and extra help is urgently needed. If you can spare an hour or two to help serve
on these trains it might avoid us having to turn customers away. You would be working as part of a team laying
up the tables, serving the refreshments and then clearing away. This usually only involves being on the train
for one or sometimes two return journeys.
If you think this might be an area where you can contribute
to the railway’s success whilst being part of a friendly team of volunteers or
would like to know more about what is involved please give me a ring on 01793

May I support what Richard S is saying - OTC is such a vital part of the Railway and its income is so important. We expect this to be of the order of £100,000 this year, 10% of our total. This is linked with the fact that so many visitors find our food services excellent and it clearly adds to their come back/recommend inclination.
