SITUATIONS VACANT

Opportunities for Involvement!

FIELD TRIP ORGANISER

Our field trips have ground to a halt for a variety of reasons.

Perhaps the time has come for a change of approach, mixing outdoor with indoor activities. No progress will be made unless a willing organiser is found.

Could this be YOU? Our PAST TRIPS page gives a flavour of previous events. Stout boots, map and weatherproofs probably required, but fresh ideas of major importance.

A different approach, reducing exposure to our unpredicatable climate, might revive enthusiasm. Are you the one to usher in a new kind of one-day adventure?

ORAL HISTORIAN

A project awaiting take-off is the recording and transcribing of reminiscences from ex-railway employees whose knowledge and experiences would be of interest to current and future generations.

Recording equipment available. Broadcasting quality interviewing technique not required on day one. Enthusiasm and an interest in railways essential. Good bedside manner beneficial. A truly worthwhile fresh venture by the CRA – when a Volunteer can be found.

BENCHMARK SURVEYORS

Our Benchmark photographic survey has resulted in much activity by a small number of individuals. Several parts of Cumbria await the visit of a capable cameraperson to record the current railway scene before it is lost in the name of progress.

There could be an Unallocated Uncovered Area near YOU

Have camera, enjoy a mission? This could be it!

WEBPERSON

Our website runs on WordPress and individual officers look after relevant pages, but we need someone to coordinate overall activity. No previous experience of WordPress is required as help is at hand, but an aptitude and enthusiasm to work with software would be a definite plus.

Come join us. Lighten the Load. Add some ideas.
