Later this year we will celebrate our 40th Anniversary. At our recent (6th March) Annual General Meeting, and Director’s Meeting (13th March) our new Board of Directors, Executive and Managers were announced. They will help guide our Society into its next forty years.

The 2025-26 Board was re-elected by acclamation at the AGM.

Bryan Larrabee resumes his role as TMS President, aided by Vice President Michael Taylor-Noonan.

At the March 13th Director’s Meeting (held in camera), the Board appointed various Executive & managerial roles: Jason Sharpe will resume his role as Secretary, Angus McIntyre that of Treasurer, along with the following managerial positions: Charters (Evan Russell), Web, Archives & Newsletter (Michael Taylor-Noonan), Sales (Savannah Dewolf & Sue Walker), Social Media (Milan Streit), & Photo Library (Rob Chew). Membership & Event committees were also formed.

So all aboard! And off we go towards a successful 2026 40th anniversary season!

This year the Transit Musuem Society is forty years old!

We thought we’d like to celebrate by offering a specially decorated baseball cap. And to make sure that we have an unforgetable, unique, fantastic design, why not ask our super talented members if they have any ideas for a design! The designer with the winning entry will receive a prize of a free hat with their design embroided on it.

The deadline for entries is March 1st. Entries can either be computer-ready art, or even just a sketch. You can choose to incorporate elements of our logo, or strikeout on your own path. (If you need a copy of our logo in svg form, please just ask the webmaster@transitmuseumsociety.org — send your entry to me too. ) We will pick the winner at a future monthly meeting.

🧢 Standard Embroidery Dimensions for Baseball Caps

⭐ Front Center (most common)

• Recommended: 2.0–2.25″ high × 2–4″ wide
• Absolute max: ~2.25″ high × 5″ wide

• Taller than 2.25″ usually hits the curve of the crown or eyelets.
• Wider than 5″ starts wrapping too far around the sides.

⚠️ Technical Limits to Keep in Mind

• Minimum text height: ~3/16″ (0.1875″) to avoid blurring.
• Cannot embroider on the bill (must be done before hat manufacturing).
• Avoid placing designs above the eyelets—machines can’t stitch cleanly there.

Get those thinking caps (hats!) on….
