2009 Newsletter 2 of 4

Chairman’s Message;
Welcome to the second 2009 CTPG newsletter.
A couple of notices for you;
Our rally, The Barry Festival of Transport, is taking place on
Sunday 14 th June, you may have seen it advertised. We need as
many members and volunteers as possible to help out on the day.
The event will be on two sites this year, the normal Hood Road
site and the Bus Depot, please contact me on the number below to
volunteer. You will not need to spend all day with us; a couple of
hours will allow someone else to have some time off.
At 11am the Depot will be officially opened by the Vale Council
Leader. All former Western Welsh and National Welsh
employees are invited to come along. I hope that a Western Welsh
convoy will arrive with the Council and ex-employees.
On Monday 8 th June at 6:30pm Roy Noble will be unveiling a
plaque to commemorate the late Julian Brinkworth, the CTPG’s
first Chairman. All members are invited to come along for a cup
of tea.
Road Runs began in May and continue until August, remember it
is a 7pm start from Cardiff County Hall.
The Bus & Coach Wales has finally been confirmed for Sunday
6 th September at the College in Merthyr Tydfil.
Work at the Depot is progressing well, a few extra regulars have
been helping out and the results are very impressive. I hope that
we can complete the painting in time for the 14th.
