Significant events
- “A new roof was installed on the narrow gauge loco shed during the winter closed period and a wholly new waste water installed beneath the area that had been cleared where the old part time funfair had been situated.”
- “Unplanned repairs had to be made to the Garden Railway loco early in the season and a replacement steam loco was successfully deployed on hire from the Audley End Railway in its place.”
- “Towards the end of the year unusually strong winds revealed a need to carry out a full survey of the more mature trees around the site. This was carried out and some limited tree felling was undertaken.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
