Maintaining and operating a 60 year old diesel locomotive is an expensive business!!! You can help us by making donations (for which you will receive a Donation Certificate) or by becoming a supporting member. A full membership can be bought outright for £400 or by 40 payments of £10 by standing order. As a supporting member, for just £15 a year you will receive a membership card and our quarterly newsletter 'Peak Power', sent as a PDF file by email (the cost is a £25 if you opt to receive the printed newsletter by post). An example of our newsletter can be found here. You can purchase annual membership on line by clicking the button above. If you prefer to purchase by post or bank transfer, or wish to become a life member, please click on the 'Download PDF Membership Form' button above. Alternatively, if you would like to make a donation on line, just click the 'donation' button above. In addition you can support the Society through 'easyfundraising'... So how does it work? easyfundrasing is an online shopping directory featuring over 2000 well known retailers including Thomson, Thomas Cook, Expedia, First Choice, Virgin, Argos, M&S, Tesco and so many more. You shop directly with the retailer as you would normally, but if you sign up to http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/class451ps for free and use the links on the easyfundraising site to take you to the retailer, then a percentage of what you spend is donated to us at NO EXTRA COST TO YOU! Simple! See the easyfundraising page on this site for more details. How much can you raise? Spend £100 with M&S online and you raise £5 for us. £100 spent with Amazon raises £2.50, £100 with WH Smith puts £2.00 in our pocket and so on. There's over 2,000 retailers on their site and some of the donations can be as much as 15% of your purchase. Save money too! easyfundraising is FREE to use plus you'll get access to hundreds of exclusive discounts and voucher codes, so not only will you be helping us, you’ll be saving money yourself. This is a great way to keep donations coming in for the upkeep of 45133. Donate via PayPal Or you can simply donate any amount to the Society by making a payment via PayPal. |
Play the Derby Community Lottery
The Class 45/1 Preservation Society is one of the good causes supported by the Derby Community Lottery to raise funds for 45133! Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 a week. Each ticket has a 1 in 50 chance to win a prize each week, with a top prize of £25,000! There's a better chance of winning the jackpot than the National Lottery or the Health Lottery. Each ticket has six numbers and each number is between 0 and 9. There is a draw every Saturday night when a six digit winning combination is picked. Prizes are given to players with tickets that match the first or last 2 to 6 numbers from the winning combination. Match all six and you win the jackpot! 50p from each ticket sold goes to the Class 45/1 Preservation Society, with 10p going to other good causes and 40p going to the prize fund. So please, if you can, sign up to this new fundraising venture, have some fun and hopefully win a prize. Thanks for your support. https://www.derbycommunitylottery.co.uk/.../class-451... Practical
Restoration and maintenance is also an ongoing task - there are always jobs to complete! Regular working parties take place at Swanwick Junction, usually on Sundays. If you would like to help the small but dedicated team of volunteers, please get in touch using the contact form. You will be most welcome. You don't have to have specialist skills, just a willingness to get stuck in and get your hands dirty! Tasks vary from cleaning and painting to dismantling or reassembling components for repair. There are also possibilities for volunteers to train as locomotive crews.
