Statement by Norwich & District Society of Model Engineers – Facebook controversy
It has been brought to the attention of the management committee (the directors) of the society that operates the miniature railway in Eaton Park that comments of a controversial nature have been made by a facebook member who also describes themselves as a driver at the miniature railway. The society does not condone such statements and wishes to disassociate itself from any such views, which were made in a personal capacity. A full investigation into the circumstances will take place and we wish to apologise for any offence that may have been caused.
The society is committed to the provisions of the Equality Act 2010 and expects all its members and servants to act in accordance with the principles therein at all times.
