MAID MARIAN AGM DAY

Saturday 12 September 2009 was the day of the Maid Marian AGM at Llanuwchllyn hence Maid Marian was the rostered engine.

It was rather misty as she was dragged out of the shed but the weather forecast promised a sunny day. As members of the Maid Marian fund would be at Llanuwchllyn much extra elbow grease was used to make sure she looked at her best.

Driver Julian Roberts, fireman Bob Shell and volunteer Thomas Wilks were responsible for her appearance.

While Thomas was helping us Gary, Thomas’s dad, set about painting the edge of Llanuwchllyn platform 2. What a difference it made.

Maid Marian ran beautifully all day, the promised sun came out and a splendid day was had. Many kind comments from the Maid Marian society came our way as to her appearance. We had around 80 passengers too.
