Fundraising
As you can see from the cash-o-meter on the homepage of this website there is still a lot of money to be raised before the building can be started. All the groups are fully committed to the project, but require your help to make it a reality.
To help raise the money a series of fund raising events are being arranged. These are the activities already being worked on (but other ideas are under consideration):
- The SVRA are running a raffle to be drawn at the 2009 SVR Diesel Gala. Tickets will be available shortly. Please bookmark this website and come back shortly to find out how you can buy tickets;
- A raffle with prizes money just cannot buy (e.g. a replica set of name and numberplates of D1033 Western Trooper made by Steve Willis of the DTG or a mainline train cab-ride provided by a TOC). To be launched in the autumn;
- A concert in the station which will feature a number of local bands (date to be confirmed but expected to be in 2010);
- A range of special merchandise - this is being developed and will be available by mail order or from any of the groups involved (more details to follow).
Please view our eBay emporium to see items currently being offered for sale to raise money in support of the appeal.
