Thanks, in no small part, to the sterling efforts of the Friends of Templecombe Station. And not forgetting Anne in the ticket office.

I am a member of FoTS but have only recently joined. In fact I joined the week the judging panel visited. My minimal input had no bearing on this award!

They were busy tending the very attractive gardens when I passed through yesterday afternoon

I like to travel. It lets me feel I'm getting somewhere.

Congratulations to Templecombe - the Friends, station staff, Blackmore Vale CRP^▸ , SWR^» (and anyone else involved).

Carrying on in the great tradition of the former Templecombe Station Promotion Group who used to do extremely well in BR^▸ 's Best Kept Station Competition including winning it outright one year (around 93). When that happened, they were taken home from Waterloo in the GM's Saloon hauled by a 33 (I was on it!).

The plaques are in the old waiting room.
