Dear Sylvia
Thank you so much for forwarding me the lovely letter you have received from the MD of Great Western Railway about the impact of the Wessex Wanderers Railway Walks. The warmth of his letter is testament to a great partnership in action.
Many congratulations to you and your fellow coordinators for driving this initiative forward and ensuring that it is still flourishing after so many years. Please pass on my thanks to all involved.
