A group of enthusiastic volunteers who have ‘adopted’ Dorchester West station are keen for more to join their number.
The Friends of Dorchester West Station usually meet on Friday mornings from 10-12, with volunteers coming along when they can. It’s a friendly and sociable group who aim to keep the station looking at its best so as to encourage more use of the railway. They: –
- Keep the station clean and tidy
- Change the waste sacks and store ready for collection
- Regularly weed and plant the garden areas
- Provide tubs, and plant and maintain them
- Keep a general station watch
- Enhance customer information at the station
- Take part in the South Wessex Community Rail Partnership, meeting with other volunteers around Dorset and Somerset
