For IWSR Members & Volunteers regarding tomorrow's consultation (message from the railway):

Venue Change: Invincible Consultation Moved to Whistle Stop Cafe

Hello Everyone

We are absolutely thrilled and encouraged by the fantastic number of participants who have registered for this event.

To ensure everyone who wishes to participate can join us, we have moved the Invincible Consultation from Train Story to the Whistle Stop Cafe.

The session will still take place on Wednesday 26th at 1800. We want to make this event as accessible as possible, and this larger space will comfortably accommodate a greater number of participants.

We greatly appreciate your flexibility and look forward to seeing you all.
