Community Rail Awards - FoGS shortlisted!
Friends of Goostrey Station are delighted that they’ve been shortlisted in 3 categories in the national Community Rail Awards 2022.
The photo entered by FoGS was one of ten which reached the final of the competition to find the photo that best captures the essence of Community Rail. ‘Volunteer pride’ shows FoGS members celebrating their 7th win in the Cheshire Best Kept Station Competition. The winner of the Community Rail Award will be decided by a public vote which ends on 30 August.
The second shortlisting was for Most Enhanced Railway Spaces. Our entry described the renovation of the Victorian wooden building and its transformation into Goostrey Art Studio, a creative hub led by professional artist Debbie Goldsmith.
The mapping of wildlife at Goostrey station was the focus of our entry for the category called Influencing Positive Change and Sustainability. Members of FoGS use a Geographical Information System to record species and locations. In an extension of the main project, Isocrone maps are being created which show distances and times in order to support greener travel locally.
