Dear Norman, Thank you for this. My grandchildren really enjoyed it! I was at the Top Station responsible for conveying parties to the Christmas Castle. My comments would be: While appreciating that groups should not be kept waiting at the Embarkation Station, the interval between trains was at times too fast. It helps if the train driver always sounds the train whistle on passing the school room, then if we have a slow party there is enough time to get back to the Top Station. The tractor shed with the robins needs more internal lighting or bigger robins!

As we are all very busy cleaning up the museum and refurbishing various displays, I don't want to take up time with a Santa Special 'debriefing' meeting. The purpose of this meeting is to pick up comments and suggestions that we may like to adopt and set the agenda for the main planning meeting in October. I would like to cut out the 'middle-man' and go straight from the comments to the October agenda. So before you forget, please let me have your comments or ideas for the next Santa Special. What can we introduce that is new? What do we need to change? What do we need to keep? There will be a 'REALLY GOOD IDEAS FORM' form available at the museum on Wednesday. Please complete --- or send me an email! Many thanks Norman. _____ <http://www.avast.com/> Image removed by sender. This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
