The trustees have making minute changes to the trust deed to enable the WMRT to receive IRD charitable status, which is different from being simply registered as a Charitable Trust. This will mean we qualify for exemptions on most forms of tax.

We would also like to welcome three new trustees aboard, they are Daniel Garland, Eric Tutt and Andrew Maciver. Daniel has been with the trust since its inception and continues to be one of our most active members. Both Eric and Andrew are long time members of Steam Incorporated and have a lot of experience and expertise in the field of railway preservation, they will be great additions to the trust.
