MIDFORD
STATION REBUILDING
We’ve reached that special
time in the history of the New S&D when we can begin to rebuild our first
station! At the last AGM it was decided that the appeal to raise the money
needed to rebuild the iconic station at Midford would be launched in March
2014.
We expect to need somewhere
in the region of £40,000. Remember we already own the station so the funds are
for the materials etc to rebuild the station buildings, put in services,
signage, cosmetic signals etc. The completed station will then become an
information point for the rebuilding of the line and will also become a visitor
centre. Hopefully there will also be some office/storage space as well!
Donations of any size are
welcomed. You can donate using Paypal (to SDRHTSales@aol.com) or by cheque (payable to ‘New Somerset
and Dorset Railway’ sent to New S&D (Midford Appeal), 10 Bellamy Avenue,
Hartcliffe, BRISTOL, BS13 0HW.
Remember volunteers are
always welcome to help with the current clearing and maintenance of the site –
for info please email leysiner@aol.com
This is a very exciting time
to be involved with the restoration of this iconic station and line!
Please remember we can also
take donations in the form of used stamps or coins (please see website http://www.somersetanddorsetrailway.co.uk/fundraising/ for
more information).
EVERY PENNY HELPS!
I hope for the New Somerset and Dorset Railway a very successfully reopening in the future ahead!
