Directors, Ffestiniog Railway Society

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

This page lists every Director of the Ffestiniog Railway Society (formerly the Festiniog Railway Society Limited) from its registration on 24th December 1954 to the present day.

In the table below only where the word "Yes" appears in the column headed Chairman has that person held the post (not necessarily for the full length of their term as a director).

Titles, where applicable have been omitted here, but appear on relevant pages.

In the "Other Directorships" column FRC indicates Festiniog Railway Company, FRHo Festiniog Railway Holdings Limited and FRHe Ffestiniog Railway Heritage Limited. The term of the other directorships may well be different from the term as a Festiniog Railway Society director.
