CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE; A Happy New Year to you all and welcome to the first newsletter of 2011. As mentioned last month, newsletters will now be issued in January, April, July and October, so that our rally reports are current rather than appearing months after the event. The weather has prevented much going on at Barry during December. I think there was more snow than they have seen in many years. However, the KMB Regent made it from Oxford, between the snowstorms, and what a monster it is. Hopefully it will be available for our rally and a road run this year. Unfortunately the frost has damaged the internal paint work of the depot again, more than last year in fact, so spring will mean a bit of tidying up is required. Any Volunteers? Pontypridd No.8 and the R&W Tiger are pretty much ready for MOT’s and Caerphilly 32 has started to be prepared for painting, both inside and out. Hopefully we can then get the cylinder head off the Jones Cub again to see what is going on, it has a history of head gasket problems stretching back many years. Cardiff 497 is still under preparation for painting, more help would be appreciated. I have plans to improve the outside of the Depot building this year, with some new signage to show what the building is used for. Also I want to see what’s left of the original signage, hidden behind the current cladding. For those of you that enjoy your internet, we have a Facebook page. I try to keep this up to date with photos of the happenings at Barry. The site is open to all to have a look and add your own photos. We have over 110 friends at the moment. 2011 Agenda; 19 th January; AGM 16 th February; Cine Film Evening 16 th March; Peter Heath’s “An A to Z of buses and a few coaches” 20 th April; To be announced Mike.
