Ten weeks ago we made an emergency appeal for £5,500 to pay our part of the cost of the base pad for the new Staveley Town Lock. We sent out an E-Newsletter to our members and put it in the June edition of our magazine Cuckoo.

We have received £2,500 in donations. We already had £2,400 in the fund. With claimable Gift Aid, we have passed the magic £5,500 that we needed.

We now move on to the next phase which is "Donate a Brick for Staveley Town Lock". This appeal will go out to the wider public and will be launched at our Festival on 17th and 18th July.
