It was purchased as redundant plant from the War O ce for use on Hythe Pier in 1920 and put into service when the Hythe Pier Tramway was opened in July 1922. At present in a completely disassembled condition, HPHA expect to have it available to be placed back on track in time for its Heritage Day event on 16th September. e chassis, all bearings, other mechanical components and controls have been overhauled and cleaned, the wheels have been fully restored by light railway engineering company Alan Keef Ltd and the cabin is being rebuilt using the original timber where possible. Once back in service, locomotive 16307 ‘Gerald Yorke’ will be withdrawn for a ‘wash and brush up’. Both locomotives will then be available to be on station.

Why Not Become a Puppeteer? from Praizin’ Hands Puppet Group You are never too old to learn a new skill! Why not come along to a Taster Session on Wednesday 30th August and give Puppetry a try? Why not consider joining Praizin’ Hands Puppet Group as a volunteer puppeteer in their Big Hands team? Praizin’ Hands Puppet Group is a local charity, their Big Hands (adult team) visit schools and residential homes, sharing the Christmas story and Easter story, to thousands of children/adults in the lead up to Christmas and Easter. We are currently looking for ladies to join our very friendly ‘Big Hands’ team. is team meet to rehearse on Wednesday mornings from September, in Black eld, and then spend 4 weeks doing performances, before Christmas. Don’t be shy! Being a puppeteer is ideal for people who tend to be a bit shy as it is an ideal way of expressing yourself but with the safety of being hidden behind the puppet stage! No experience is needed as full training will be given. If you feel puppetry is not for you, how about helping with signs and props in our performances? If you are interested in coming along to the Taster Day to have ‘a go’ and to nd out more about the charity, please email info@ praizinhands.org.uk or call 07842 142269 to nd out more information.
