GCRN - Free day today.
« on: 21 March 2010, 21:33:43 »
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?

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

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. :(
