FUNDRAISING

Whereas most of our donations come from members of SNGLPT, we are very grateful to those non-members that are interested enough in our project to contribute - and are always pleased to accept more ;-)

200 CLUB
We are pleased to announce the re-launch of the 200 club.
This is a contribution of £7 a month, or a total payment of £84 for a whole year.

Members will take part in a monthly prize draw for £100
For the 12th month the prize will be £5000
Club membership maybe continued or ended each year

Members will also benefit from some aspects of the Friends scheme (see below).

Members of the '200 club' will automatically be given Friends status. They will be eligible for the same benefits as Friends except the quarterly 'Friends Benefit' (benefit 1 in the list below). This is because the 200 Club has a separate rewards package.

Conditions

To qualify for the Friends scheme payments must be made by monthly standing order.

Friends are only eligible for one 'Friends Benefit' per calendar year.

If, during an SNGLPT sponsored event, a Friend wishes to have access to the footplate of 60007 this will be arranged under appropriate safety supervision. In no case can this be arranged if the Locomotive is working on NYMR Scheduled Services or on the Main Line.

The Trust may amend the details of the scheme at any time; details of any changes will be provided in Chime.

Members may withdraw from the scheme at any time by cancelling their standing order / monthly direct debit and advising the Trust in writing.

If you are interested in joining the 200 Club please contact Sheila McKenna on 07968 348037, e-mail her on fundraising@sirnigelgresley.co.uk with your details and you will be sent the paperwork, or download, complete and return the form here.

Please do not enclose any money at this stage. You will be advised as soon as the 200 members have joined.

FRIENDS OF SIR NIGEL
Why not become a Friend of Sir Nigel, a relatively painless way to give financial support to our locomotive? All existing members are eligible to upgrade to this level of membership.
Friends pay a minimum of £7 per month, with the normal annual membership fee waived, with Friends membership including Family status where appropriate. If a Life member becomes a Friends member, then the Life membership would subsequently remain should the Friends membership be discontinued.

We would like to encourage as many members to take up the Friends status as possible. In recognition of the increased contribution, Friends would be eligible for:

Quarterly 'Friends Benefit' which would be a draw for two tickets for one of:

a railtour featuring 60007,

entrance to a preserved railway gala or similar event,

dining tickets on the NYMR,

the member drawn would be able to select his/her preferred benefit from the list available at a given time.

Friends event as part of future Members' Day.
Inclusive Family membership.
Priority access to 60007 where practical and appropriate during SNGLPT events.

If you are an existing member and wish to become a Friends member at a minimum of £7 per month, please download, complete and return this form to the address on the form.

If you are not an existing member details of how to become a Friend will be posted here shortly.

If you are a U.K. tax payer, also completing the gift aid form will make your donation worth even more.
