Hello everyone.

We hope all has been well since our last posting.
Just to keep you up to date on current events. We have started the process of getting a quote for the frames. The CAD work is getting on well with our new member working very hard. We are glad to have someone with his experience and links, helping us in this project.

Another thank you to The Martin Hoyle Collection for the use of these photos. Restored and Remastered.

News Update 06-08-2013



The Claud Board would like to announce that the group has been successfully partnered with the Whitwell and Reepham Railway, located in Norfolk. Whitwell will act as a parent company. The ability to receive donations will be operational by the end of this month. All donations made to the Claud will be restricted for this project only. We are still linked with the Australian new build group VSLC.
The main benefits for the new link are; a future base to store, build and use the locomotive, expert help, a local link and business expertise.

“Whitwell & Reepham Station re-opened on the 28th February 2009 nearly 50 years after it was closed to passengers.
Continuing aims are to restore the Station to its former glory circa 1930/40′s, relaying track and sidings, acquiring rolling stock and add more items to the museum relating to the Station and The Midland & Great Northern Railway.”

Update Of News - May

Much has happened in the background since the last update. We have had the first newsletter sent out to our current members. The next newsletter is being finalised and will be sent out in June.

A members section has also been added to the website where members are able to access past newsletters in PDF form.

On a sad note our Chairman, Chris Allenby has left the position due to personal circumstances. Dan Knights has stepped in as a temporary Chairman till further notice of an appointment. The team thanks Chris' support and input over the past few years in starting up the group.

Three new members have been added to the Board. Rob Ewles as business adviser, Dan Peart as adviser  and Peter Kelley as treasurer.

Thank you again for the support to the group.

Regards

Claud Board
