We are pleased to announce that after several months of negotiations,
The Swanage TC Group was, at a meeting of the Swanage Railway Trust
Council of Management on the 30th of August, officially adopted as a Sub
Group of the Swanage Railway Trust. This will be further reinforced by
the imminent signing of a 99 year lease of the Unit to the Trust.
Our
restoration plan was also approved.
Not only does this guarantee
our Unit a permanent home at the Swanage Railway once restoration is
completed, but it also opens the door to the many benefits of carrying
out the restoration as part of a charitable trust. This includes gift
aid on any members and supporters donations.
We are planning a
meeting open to all our members in the next few weeks to explain this
new arrangement in detail and to explain the restoration plan and we
also hope to make another exciting announcement within the next few
weeks, so watch this space!
We thank you for your ongoing support.
The Swanage TC Group Committee
