On Saturday 11th December, some of the Fund-Raising Team Members had been very kindly invited to join in the 125th Celebrations of the opening of March Station, by taking along the Road show, in order to keep the public aware, that we are still intent on re-opening the line, despite rather little taking place during this year and for various reasons.
Members of the public were quite impressed with what advance has been made, with many taking a keen interest, as to our achievements so far, with so few members actually helping clear the vegetation. Even if just half of those who took membership application forms, complete and return them, the membership will receive a considerable boost, and one that it needs right now.
"It will never happen." is often heard, as it was just a few times at the celebrations, while those of the membership who were there, plus a few more, are determined it will happen, and just as soon as the required finance can be raised, in order to obtain the lease, but what we can't do, is raise it overnight, during the current financial situation, or with the shortage of volunteers, who are as Ardent as those on Saturday.
A huge Thank You goes out to all those wonderful people who organised the event, plus those who so kindly supported it in whatever manner they did, whether participating, or visiting, it was a Lovely event. It was made even more special by the visit of A4 Pacific 60007, 'Sir Nigel Gresley', which made a stop in the station, much to the delight of those there to see it. It may have only been a few hours, but the Bramley Line Fund-Raisers, sure enjoyed informing everybody of our intentions
