Kids Week
Kids' Week is the annual working party for younger volunteers, aged 13 to 18, that enables them to make useful contribution while getting a flavour of the FR before the age at which they can volunteer for operational departments.
Kids' Week was initiated by Eileen Clayton in the late 1980s and she continued in this role until 2007. The working party is usually run during the first full week of August each year and involves about 40 young volunteers and a similar number of adult volunteers as supervisors and facilitators.
Over the years the projects that have been carried out by Kids' Week, include work on Minffordd Hostel, work on the new PW/ S&T support building in Minffordd Yard, maintenance of Boston Lodge infrastructure & building of the memorial there, supply of new fencing and tables for Tan-y-Bwlch, erecting of the replica mark 2 Quarrymans carriage and making of many new signs for the railway.
