We had a free day today at the centre....as part of Nottingham radio 'One Big Sunday'
We left a collection tin for donations and gave free train rides etc.....1500 people went through the gate.
So, how much do you think we got in donations?
-
2 X £1 coins, 1 X 2p piece, 4 X 1p pieces and some pocket fluff? People these days are such freeloaders! ;D ;)
-
Well lets just say the average donation was 10p

1500 vistitors
Wonder if the 10p average was a clue.
£150.00

Having previously restored and run a preserved bus myself, plus being a member of the West Somerset Railway Association, I'd have probably given at least a tenner.
Our usual entourage to such a venue entails myself and Mrs Sethsmate, plus the two youngest grandsons.
So, I'd probably have donated 30 quid, as I'd consider that a brilliant-value day out, and value the voluntary and hard-grafting efforts that go into providing such an event.
We're certainly no 'free-loaders' and appreciate these things.
;) ;) :y :y

Wonder how many would have turned up if you had charged a "1 for adults and .50p for kids.

They look after no.1 and don't think any further on the whole, unfortunately. >:(
It doesn't take much to consider what the value of a freebie is, and to contribute accordingly. :(

True, unfortunately :'( :'(
I give a lot to charity both financially and physically with my time/effort and can't wrap my head around anyone who thinks 10p is a good donation :o :o :o
Christ, I gave the taxi driver a bigger tip than that last week after he'd charged me £8.40 for a journey ::) ::) ;D

A class 20 diesel and a class 73 electro-diesel at each end with a line-up of carriages sandwiched in between.

Unfortunately this is the average donation, most people probably didn't donate anything at all. The ones that did donate would have given a couple of quid, I would have thought - just not that many of them >:(

In my current climate it would depend on how many cash keyfobs I got but would have been a £1 each probably
