Out of interest, how does one join?  The website, as we have discussed before, points to this thread.

You can join by contacting the membership secretary, Rob Brown, on (01225) 864221 or for more information, contact the chairman, Roger Newman on (01225) 762337. All being well, the new website should be up and running in the New Year. Richard.

It's worth being a member of the group if you're in (or interested in) the West Wilts area; they have a track record of informing on and supporting existing services, and I'm very happy to see them doing so with such good coverage in this issue for the now-existing TransWits service.

Bob, the new West Wilts Rail User Group web site ( http://www.wwrug.org.uk/ ) has now been activated and the contact information, meeting details, etc, are on there. 

We previously hosted the site for the group, but they have decided to move to a new setup rather than carry on with the old arrangement.  As seems inevitable, there are some technical issues with moving domains around and ownership transfer;  we're working together to get these resolved, but there may be one or two "funnies" / glitches in service while caches time out as we do so. Initial reports of issues on their new website should probably be made direct to the group, but I'll be very much ready and willing to help on anything that turns out to relate to the transfer away from our hosting

Those who attended the talk last year by Publications Manager Ian Mundy may like to know he has moved on and is currently "Interim Station Manager - South Devon Stations"  With the current problems there I wish him luck.

I am not sure if the change is permanent but currently Andy McRae has the title of Senior Publications Manager.

It's a temporary secondment, so he will be back.

TWCRP» (TransWilts Community Rail Partnership - about) already have an excellent working relationship with Andy McRae, so no worries there.
