3. Chairman’s report<br />
2010 was a year <strong>of</strong> consolidation for the CTPG as a nationally known Charity with a<br />
regional transport centre. 4 Newsletters have been published and distributed through<br />
2010. Viv Corbin has successfully produced an improved newsletter at a lower cost,<br />
and through our new printing company the reproduction <strong>of</strong> photos is much improved.<br />
Membership is 110, the highest to date. A number <strong>of</strong> members have recently joined after<br />
visiting the Depot. New lighting has been installed in the depot storerooms. The<br />
Chairman highlighted that assistance from members on Saturdays and Sundays is<br />
welcomed at Barry depot.<br />
Rallies organised during 2010 were the Barry Festival <strong>of</strong> Transport and Bus & Coach<br />
Wales 2010 at Merthyr Tydfil. This included arranging sponsorship, programmes, stalls,<br />
entries, marshalling, road runs, setting up and dismantling the event. At Barry CTPG ran<br />
two sites. Both rallies were very well attended both by vehicles and the public. Thanks<br />
were <strong>of</strong>fered to drivers and members for the assistance given at both events. A plea was<br />
issued to all members for volunteers to assist with rallies and public events planned for<br />
<strong>2011</strong>. The chairman highlighted that CTPG need drivers. Any members interested in<br />
driving CTPG buses to or at rallies please let the chairman know, to enable contact to be<br />
made prior to an event.<br />
12 evening meetings were organised, including a joint Omnibus Society evening and three<br />
road runs with buses previously not used by the CTPG. The pub stop near journey’s end<br />
continued to be very popular.<br />
Meetings continued to be well supported with on several occasions more than 30<br />
attendees. We have again been lucky with the quality <strong>of</strong> our presenters.<br />
CTPG provided a free service to the Cardiff Model Railway Show at Llandaff UWIC<br />
using the Rhondda Regent and WW Tiger Cub.<br />
CTPG have continued membership <strong>of</strong> NARTM & WCVA which places us in the<br />
annual ‘Buses Restored’ book published by Ian Allan.<br />
