Whistler 116
CFPS MEMBER MAGAZINE, “The WHISTLER.” Issue 116.
Publication of the above magazine which was scheduled to be distributed Early April has been delayed due to the extra workload created by the repairs and maintenance required on our two locos.
Although, full repair costs are still awaited,we have been told to brace ourselves for some hefty amounts.
In anticipation of that, The Committee have been active attending events at Barrow Hill
and The EAST LANCS Railway with the CFPS sales stand in an effort to obtain much needed funds.
We have also been manning the 40088 sales cab at The Crewe Heritage Centre where there has recently been a lot of interesting activity.
When there wasn’t an event taking place,the committee, along with a small group of working members, have attended Barrow Hill to help with the work on 40145.
Our efforts and desire to achieve the funds required and return our locos to full working order have impacted on the Whistler Magazine.
We aim to have the magazine produced by the End of April.
When it does arrive through your postbox,please brace yourself ! as it will contain our latest fund raising effort, The Annual Raffle.
Please do make a determined effort to sell the tickets to your family and friends and help us
to erase the bleak times and recreate the years we took class 40 haulage for granted.
Apologies once again for the late arrival of The Magazine. With so much to deal with at present, something had to give and on this occasion it has been The Society Magazine.
Thank you for your patience, understanding and much needed support.
regards
John Stephens
