Gwsr Cheltenham Racecourse Station

#Lockdown Lookback to last #Easter Monday, it was the Red Timetable with Foremarke Hall 7903, GWR Goods 2807 and the DMU. It's normally very busy during April and May for our #Volunteers, but alas this year it isn't going to be 😢

Last day of the 2019-20 #TaxYear today. It's a great day to get a #GiftAid donation done. It allows us to claim basic rate tax of 20% from HMRC on your donation. Higher rate taxpayers can claim the difference from HMRC 👍

Sorry to report that this year's Classic Bus Rally, due to take place in July, has been cancelled. This decision was taken to protect our #Volunteers and the #Bus Owners. The event will be back in 2021.
As #Lockdown continues, alternative plans are being worked on - but these may be for #NotRealBusses 😉

Another #Lockdown look backwards - April 4th last year (2019). It was a Thursday and it didn't rain, it SNOWED on the #Cotswolds ☹️ At least this year it's a bit warmer
It was still 2807 and the DMU blue timetable
