Tuesday July 1st 2008 Whilst we are always pleased to receive donations from the public and our visitors, these two visitors (above) to the park left us an unwelcome donation on our tracks. There was no attempt by the owner of this dog to clear up the donation (pixelated as I am sure it would not be too pleasant to look at) left by the dog. Operating a miniature railway in a public park does have a slightly different aspect to that of operating in a private museum or land. Fortunately our group visit by the Rainbows and Brownies would not have noticed this contribution. 

The Thorne Brownies being taken around the park on their visit 1st July 2008. Click here to see a full set of photographs of  the visit by the Rainbows and Brownies on June 30th and July 1st.
