Heritage Railways Receive Queens Award

摘要

Volunteers at the Chasewater Railway and the East Lancashire Railway started the summer with big smiles on their faces, after it was announced on June 2 that they had honoured with the Queens Award for Voluntary Service. This is the highest award a voluntary group can receive in the UK and was created in 2002 to celebrate the Queen's Golden Jubilee and is given to groups to recognise outstanding work in their communities. Both Railways were among the 193 voluntary groups, charities and social enterprises receiving the award this year.
