The Book Shop. Wemyss Bay Station. PA18 6AR
This brings together a host of local organisations to mark the 200th anniversary of travel by rail and the 160th anniversary of the railway to Wemyss Bay.
Find out more about the splendid station, voted Britain’s favourite! Learn also about the Skelmorlie Secret Bunker. Inverclyde Heritage Network and Bute Conservation Trust will have more information about local history. Local artists and craftspeople will be showing their work. There will be more trains than usual at the station, with Greenock Model Railway Club running some of their models. Others attending include Bute Forest, Inverclyde Gaelic Group, Royal National Lifeboat Institution and Waverley Excursions. The book shop, station café and bar are open, as usual.
The Community Day runs from 10.30 am to 3.00 pm and is free of charge!
We are very sad to announce the passing of our founder member Nancy Cameron.
Nancy was the driving force behind the establishment of the Friends in 2009, and chaired the organisation for its first 6 years to 2015. She was from then on our Honorary President.
Nancy steered the establishment of the flower displays, the bookshop, the station garden and many other aspects of the work we see today
Our thoughts are with her husband Dugald, and her sister Sheena, at this difficult time.
