The Friends of Handforth Station are delighted that Figen Murray OBE has accepted our invitation to speak at our AGM on Tuesday 7th March 2023. This meeting is open to anyone and everyone to attend, and we especially welcome residents of Handforth and users of Handforth Station.

The meeting will start at 7.30pm. Refreshments – including cake ! – will be available from 7.00pm.

This is the yearly opportunity to meet the Friends and understand what we do for the station and the local community. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask anything, and will hear how volunteering can be very rewarding.
