Vice President/ Secretary Report 2019/20

Well as we all know it’s has been a difficult year for all voluntary groups such as RHRS. The period up to Xmas was reasonably normal from an administrative, web tech and public outreach point of view. Although Cockatoo Run trains were coming to the Highlands on a monthly basis once the Waratah week was over, things were fairly quiet. Publicity in the village news and Facebook page was useful but loop train numbers dropped considerably. The committee decided to proceed with two major annual events at Easter time and springtime in 2021, as in the past. 

However the coming of the Covid pandemic in March led to the cancellation of the car day autumn event and many other community events such as the Robertson Show. This public health problem drastically affected our activities as outlined by our President. There has been reduced activity on the website and publicity front. It’s been good to see informative articles by Neil and Ian in our local news but there has been a dearth of train activity due to the virtual shutdown of the heritage rail sector for several months. This is slowly opening up and there are encouraging signs for the future. In spite of difficulties our core members have kept the group functioning on a reduced basis and followed the Covid guidelines. 

We Rona and I, would like to thank RHRS for the camaraderie and sense of achievement our involvement over the last 15 or so years have brought into our lives. We will not be standing for the committee again but will remain as common members and occasional volunteers. It been a valuable part of our lives and we’ve made lifelong friends through our association with RHRS. We wish the new committee all the best for the coming year. There is much to be proud of about the achievements of our little group over the years and long may it continue.

Steve Carey, Vice President and Rona Goold Secretary.
