The date for the 2011 Annual General Meeting of the ALRS where members can find out exactly what has happened over the past 12 months has been set for Saturday 21st May 2011 in the Ashover Parish Hall’s Amber Room for a 12.30 start.
Please put this date into your calendar.
Fuller details will appear in the society’s journal “Where the Rainbow Ends”.
At the recent AGM of the Ashover Light Railway Society founding member Gary Boyd-Hope and membership secretary Carol Hope relinquished their positions as Trustees. Carols position has been filled by Dale Coton. Chairman Richard Booth paid tribute to both during their sterling work over the past 4 years since the Society had been conceived. Gary in an open letter to the Society revealed when he set the society up he never saw himself in the Chairman’s seat but over the past 12 months Richard had proved himself to be an incredible motivator, he also back the current trustees and encouraged members to show wholehearted backing. Carol, during her farewell statement revealed that Mr Richard Jackson had made contact with Society Secretary Russell Prince and as a result become a member. This is of major significance as Mr. Jackson’s father was Guy Jackson, who gave his name to the engine ‘GUY’.
The annual general meeting on the ALRS will be held on Saturday May 22nd at 13:45 in the Ashover Parish Hall, Milken Lane, Ashover S45 0BA.
All members are cordially invited to attend.
As well as the AGM there will also be a small display of ALR memorabilia. Â If anyone has anything we could borrow, it would be very much appreciated. In particular, we are looking for ALR Crockery and Cutlery.
Would any Members so willing, please bring their items along on the day and obviously, retrieve them after the AGM. Would you also be good enough to let us know what you intend bringing along so that we can reserve the appropriate space for your items. Many thanks.
An important date for your diary.

On Sunday 28th June 2009 the Annual General Meeting of the ALRS will be held in the Amber Hall, Ashover Parish Hall starting at 1.30pm. In the Fabric Room, where last years AGM was held, an exhibition will be placed for both members and the local public to attend. This exhibition will be open for a period before and after the meeting, exact time still to be confirmed.
The exhibition will feature:
Members of the committee shall be on hand to answer any questions from members of the society or public.
Any members who have any images, artifacts, video or other material that they feel would be relevant to the exhibition should please contact n.fox@alrs.org.uk. PLEASE NOTE, due to memory space do not send attachments without prior arrangement as they are likely to be bounced.
Watch this site and local press for further announcements.
Due to the due date of our Chairman’s next addition to his family the date of this years AGM has been put back.
Given the fact that around the time of the New Year our membership had reached the 300 mark, we have taken the decision to hold it in the Amber Hall, Ashover Parish Hall.
The date is Sunday 28th June 2009, with a 1.30pm start.
Last years meeting room, the Fabric Room has also been booked that day to hold an exhibition of the ALR and ALRS; more details to follow in the next few weeks.
On Saturday May 10th the Society held its second annual general meeting at the Parish Hall in Ashover.
The turn out was excellent again and the meeting started punctually, with reports given by the Membership Secretary, Treasurer, Publicity Officer and Secretary. Committee member David Hopkinson and society President Bob Gratton also spoke to the floor, David about his passion for the society and its ambitions, and Bob to thank the committee for its hard work. Chairman Gary Boyd-Hope then went on to give a presentation about the society’s present position and future aims.

Those members that attended last year’s AGM will know that at the end of the business proceedings we held an auction of ALR related items (books and tickets etc.) to raise funds for the Society. This made almost £300 and has enabled us to progress with our railway revival scheme. Therefore with our 2008 AGM set to take place on May 10, we have gathered another selection of items that might be of interest. (more…)
