100 Not Out

It's not the score from the latest test match but On The Weston Front has arrived at the grand old age of 100 blog posts.  It's taken just under a year which means an average of around two posts per week, though there have been some lean periods where external events have meant posts have been spaced much further apart.

I hope that you have enjoyed the journey so far and will continue to look in to see progress on our project.

None of this would have been possible without the support of fellow CHR members who continue to give up their time to volunteer working on the railway.  Special thanks must be given to the roving reporters who provide the photographs and details of the work.

What will the next 100 posts bring?

Well we all hope that the progress that has been made so far will continue and we reach our goal of rails to Weston.  Though this blog looks mainly at the push to Weston there is much going on at other sites, in particular Llynclys where the dedicated crew continue with the restoration of rolling stock and the operation of the services to Penygarreg Lane.

I hope to carry on with the blog posts from wherever in the world I happen to be, posts have been made from many strange places and at strange hours, many thousands of miles away from Oswestry but always with my heart and mind concentrated on events back in the top left hand corner of Shropshire.

The CHR project will continue to flourish, our progress is only limited by funding and man hours so please see if you can help.

• You could join the CHR organisation and receive the journal amongst other benefits.  The latest one has just been published containing more details on the project and background information.

• Why not join in as a working volunteer?  CHR working days and times are a mixture, from those who have time during the week, to weekend work and then those who can only spare and odd hour or two in the evening.  We are all volunteers and there is work for all levels of ability or speciality from the dirty side to paperwork.

• You can make donations to CHR on line using the link in the top right of the page.

• Or come along and take a ride or attend a special event.  Come and see how we are progressing and how much more there is to do.

• Spread the word about CHR and the project, share the posts or links to your contacts.

We look forward to hearing from or seeing you.

Thank you for reading this and the continued support.

See you in the second century
