FUND RAISING

28atsau

 

 We  are now into the third general overhaul of 35028 Clan Line, which means  that spending on the Locomotive has begun in earnest.

 It  is of course difficult to anticipate how much the overhaul will cost,  but the original estimate of £200,000 has already been exceeded.  The MNLPS has also purchased a replacement Support Coach, Mercator (II),  and this is currently being overhauled and modified. Raising funds for  both of these projects is therefore extremely important.

 It  is only sensible and prudent for us to make sure that funds continue to  be replenished, even whilst Clan Line is out of traffic and unable to earn her keep.

 Quite  apart from the cost of the overhaul, and being sure that there is the  finance to get our Locomotive back on to the main line, it also costs  us money just to stand still. Rent,  insurance and general overheads still  have to be met, whether Clan Line runs or not.

All  donations, whether large or small, are therefore very welcome and will  be a great help during this expensive period. Here are some ways that  YOU can help:

     

  • Why not make a donation to the general "Overhaul Fund"  or to the "Mercator Fund" by sending a cheque made payable  to the MNLPS LTD, to me at the address below. N.B. Cheques drawn on  UK BANKS £ Sterling Accounts only, or by International Money Orders  drawn in £ Sterling. For donations in other currencies please  first contact the Fund Raising Officer.
  •  

  • How  about making a regular monthly donation through your UK Bank, by  sending me a completed Standing Order Mandate - click below to down  load one. Everyone who signs to donate at least £10 per month  will receive one year's free "ordinary membership" of the  MNLPS - for details of membership benefits see the Membership Page.
  •  

  • TUBE APPEAL The sale of the 124 small boiler tubes  and 40 large flue tubes is now complete. This raised £9760. Many thanks to those who supported this appeal.
  •  

  • Gift  Aid New UK tax rules make a significant difference to our fund raising  efforts. This is because as a Charity we can claim back the tax that  you have already paid on  the donations that you make to us. If you currently  pay UK Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax and wish the MNLPS to benefit  from these rules please complete a Gift Aid Form - click below to download  one.

 

During  her time on the main line, Clan Line has gained a tremendous reputation,  please  help the MNLPS to make sure that this continues by making a donation  today.

Please  send your donation by cheque made payable to MNLPS LTD or your completed   standing order mandate (see notes above re donations from our overseas  supporters) to

Fund  Raising Officer

  If you would like an acknowledgement please enclose a SAE.
 

N.B. We ARE UNABLE to process credit card donations, please see  notes above re  donations from overseas supporters. Thank you very much  for your help.
