SAVE OUR
SIGNALBOXES
APPEAL
The MRSA exists to preserve the concept and practice of semaphore signalling
as practised by the Midland Railway and its successors. The signal boxes
which have been saved from demolition and are now in use or stored at the
Midland Railway Centre are, to use a modern term, 'past their sell-by date'
and are in need of urgent and continuing maintenance work. To enable this
work to be done the MRSA are active in raising funds to purchase materials
and specialist contract work that cannot be undertaken by themselves.
Part of the fund raising activities is a Covenant Scheme wherby interested
individuals can contribute a minimum of £5 per month for at least 4
years. Under current legislation the Association can reclaim from the Inland
Revenue the basic tax, thus increassing the value of your donation.
If you would like to help the Association in this way could you complete
the Deed of Covenant and Standing Order below and send them to:
Mr Nick Hopkins
The MRSA is an integral part of the Midland Railway Trust Limited which
is a company registered in England No 1097382 and as a charitable trust No

Inland Revenue as having been established for charitable purposes only.
