IMPORTANT NOTICE: Events Cancelled |

TV&GWOT
Trustees have taken the difficult decision to cancel
further events: the Royal Blue Run in June and the
Thames Valley Traction Co. centenary event in
Reading in early July. We share the disappointment
but it is important to heed advice and ensure we can
go on to enjoy events in 2021. The NOTC, Royal Blue,

marked then.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Penzance Running Day Cancelled |
 |
We
have taken the very difficult decision to cancel our
2020 Penzance Running Day, scheduled for 19 April.
Along with our event partners at the Cornwall Bus
Preservation Society, we have been closely following
developments with the spread of Coronavirus
COVID-19, in particular, the UK Government's advice
on mass gatherings and events, and do not feel it is
appropriate to go ahead with the event given the
current situation. We regret the disappointment this
will cause, but feel sure you will understand our
decision.
Please check this website regularly for updates on
our other 2020 events, and visit our
Facebook page for regular announcements. |

IMPORTANT NOTICE: South Devon SU Tour Postponed |
 |
With
regret, but in light of the Government’s latest
COVID-19 advice, we have to postpone the South Devon
SU Tour planned for 29 March. Many weeks of work
have been put into the preparations by a number of
Supporters so we are confident it will be an
excellent trip once a new date can be confirmed.
