A postponed meeting and an appeal

The speaker at our May meeting was to be Neil Ferguson-Lee, Vice Chairman of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, a heritage line at Wirksworth, Derbyshire.
As a non profit making organisation, its future is threatened by the current health situation. Neil writes: 


The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is fast tracking its appeal for help fight the financial shock the COVID-19 Virus has caused to its operation.
Current Government guidelines have forced the railway to cancel its trains for the next few weeks with a resulting dramatic loss of income.
The railway is one of Derbyshire's treasures, providing a wonderful link to county's heritage. Maintenance of the engines, tracks and structures must continue during this emergency period and the railway is asking for members of the public to donate whatever they can to ensure its survival and a Victory over the Virus.
