Rolleston-on-Dove Station Heritage Group (RSHG) is a volunteer organisation under the umbrella of The Rolleston Engineering and Transport Society (TREATS). The mission is to maintain the surviving railway artifacts as well as the fauna and flora.

New volunteers are always welcome to join monthly working parties convened on the first Saturday morning of every month, from 10am, weather permitting. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Keeping a high profile in the locality the group attends various events with a display. Such events this coming season will include the Scouts Carnival, Rolleston Transport Festival and the Village Fair.

To arrest the interest of the younger generation, illustrated talks are presented to local schools, usually followed-up by a visit to site. Year 2 pupils of Richard Wakefield Primary School received a presentation on 3rd February followed by a visit to the site. We enjoyed welcoming them to a trip back in time. A presentation was made to Yr 3 pupils at John of Rolleston Primary SChool in June.

A great team of volunteers gathered for an evening session prior to the August (Saturday) working party, to clear the wildflower meadow that had gone to seed much earlier in the year than usual, due to the dry weather.

Please call on us at our stand at the Village Fayre on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August.

The next Working Party is planned for Saturday 5th September from 10am.
