Welcome to this edition of the Information Page for 200 Club Members. Welcome also to new 200 Club members, I hope you will stay with us a long time! Please click Renewal/Application Form (above left) to download a form to send in to Pete Ashton with your renewals and extra subscriptions requests. This 200 Club webpage is kindly made available by SR volunteer Chris Youlden and so enables 200 Club information to be here on our own 200 Club webpage. Email me with comments/suggestions at railway@davidfsaunders.org.uk. I am grateful for the photographs which are shown with the permission of Andrew P M Wright, our Railway photographer – there are many more photographs of his to see on www.swanagerailway.co.uk just follow the links. Six photographs are mine. |

Renewal Time
You can renew any time
from October for the coming year.
Thank you ALL for your renewals and welcome to all new members. A very big thank you to all those who have taken out extra subscriptions at any time. Be assured that there is no limit to the number you can have and you can take out ‘extras’ at any time of year – just pay up to the end of the current year or for as many years as you choose (but to December). Annual reminders are sent out in October. Please note that all your renewal reminders will include details of your subscription numbers and your Trust membership number that will appear either on your envelope label if I write to you or with the email I send you. Don’t forget – the target for subscriptions is 1000! Please refer to the Report in the magazine for ‘current’ numbers. If you feel strongly about new ideas for future 200 Club projects, please drop me a line or email me – I will pass on your thoughts to David Budd, our CoM liaison member. I would think that the current project will last for another two years. So, it will be good to receive your renewals – please send them in by early December before Christmas matters start to take over! If you are reading this webpage for the first time and are not a 200 Club member, you’d be very welcome to join us – Pete Ashton, our treasurer, will be pleased to receive your cheque any time! It is my regular pleasure to ‘sign up’ a new member into the database! You will see on the form that you have to be a Trust member and over 18. So please join, we always need new members, we can't do without you - and the projects will be never-ending! You will see on the form that a full year’s membership of one year’s subscription is £15 – January to December. Any number of subscriptions can be taken out at any time at the rate of £1.25 per month (£15 for a full 12 months). Please join us at any time. Please email me with any matter – railway@davidfsaunders.org.uk or telephone me or fax on 01202 882022; you can write too c/o Station House. Thank you for all your support, the 200 Club does a great job for the Railway, keep subscribing!

Rest assured my
activities for the 200 Club Monthly Draw are fully scrutinised by three
friends, one of whom is a Railway member and the other two quite
enthusiastic about the Railway, although I haven't been able to get
them to join!
They are Jeanette, Margaret and Freda. I am pleased to say that no loose numbers on cards or paper are to be seen now - all winners are randomly selected by computer, much easier! |
