Between 2001-2003 I arranged for the railway society to receive considerable funding to purchase locomotives, materials for the building of coaches and the electric locomotive John L Stokes. We were also able to purchase two marquees for shows such as the Summer Festival Event. Plastic Tables and chairs for visitors to use. Stationary, publicity leaflets and much more were obtained by funding. I would estimate about £10,000+ worth of funding was obtained with many hours of form filling producing brochures for the funders. The Neighbour renewal Community Chest also funded this special Newsletter that was made available free at local newsagents etc. I have been able to archive a few copies. I have been able to scan  one of these copies.
