The first FOTR Open Day at Hermanstad has come and gone. And what a great success it was!
The hard work and planning by the EXCO came to fruition on a warm and sunny mid-winter's day in Pretoria. Live music, pony rides, jumping castle, face painting, wors rolls, train rides, exhibits to explore- and then a smooth Tshwane Explorer with views of the Gautrain- what more could the public want? Our decision to can Cullinan and concentrate on this formula has been proven correct, I believe.
Trainman was of course in his element in his neat little guard's suit....
