Join one of the skills workshops being run by FFWHR. The Ffestiniog & Welsh Highland Railways (FFWHR) are now offering an exciting new range of ‘Have a Go’ workshops where participants can learn a variety of different skills including painting, signwriting and welding. The workshops are open to those 16 or older who are looking to add to their CV with valuable hands-on skills training this autumn. Some restrictions apply due to the nature of the ground surface and activities of a working environment. Hosted on various dates in October and November, with future dates set to be confirmed soon, they will provide an opportunity for participants to learn and practice skills such as lathe work, welding, hot riveting, carriage painting and signwriting as well as an introduction to stripping down a locomotive. Iain Wilkinson, from the railways’ Boston Lodge Project team, said: “Our expert staff will start with some theory and explanations about what lies ahead but these events are very much hands on, giving participants the opportunity to practice their new skills in a safe and constructive environment. “We obviously hope they will enjoy themselves so much that they will want to return as a volunteer to apply their new skills on our amazing railway. These free workshops, however, come with no obligation at all; just come and have a go!” Workshops are provided free of charge thanks to the Interpretation & Boston Lodge Project, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Ffestiniog Railway Society and FFWHR Trust.
