Harvey Webb, National Events Manager, retired from the ETTA on 31st March 2011 for a well earned rest. A collection had been held by Management Committee and ETTA staff, which totalled £200, Harvey will be spending it on his model railway. He will retain his close links with the ETTA as a volunteer, serving on various committees and no doubt we will see him again in the very near future.
