On behalf of everyone connected with the Chesterfield Canal Trust, can I thank you all for your warm generosity. The contributions made by members of this forum made a massive difference to us reaching our target (even if Cheshire Rose did bully you in to it!).
We will be writing to the main grant suppliers shortly informing them we have the necessary funds in place. If you want to keep track with what's happening, please keep an eye on our website.
As our publicity officer said so eloquently in the article, this is only the start, so if you still have any spare beer tokens left over, we'll be happy to carry on taking them for the Staveley Town Lock appeal. I should point out that donations made to this cause do go in to our accounts as reserved funds, so you can be assured that's where the money will go
Once again, thanks!!
