Met with the team in Berkeley for our first meeting of 2010 on Friday 15th January. The snow had meant that earlier meetings had to be cancelled. David & Christine Heathcote were there, Val Watt’s the Berkeley Mayor and our finance expert Dylan Griffiths. Apologies came from two of our gang, Kelly Gibson and Neilson Kite.
We were all now extremely focused on the deadlines set for our submissions to BIG LOTTERY. By March 3rd we have to submit both our Business Plan and our Capital plan. THIS IS WHAT WE WILL BE JUDGED ON FOR OUR APPLICATION TO OBTAIN £400,000 to get our steam train and Berkeley tourism drive onto the map.
We agreed that our project would be called the BERKSHIRE VALE RAILWAY at our last meeting. I’ve already bought the URL www.berkshirevalerailway.co.uk for our consumer website. This would be a key platform that would advertise not only the steam railway but also the town of Berkeley and it’s many attractions. It would also show train times, take bookings online and issue tickets.
David informed us that we were attracting lots of interest from steam train enthusiasts and they wanted to have a forum where they could find out up to date information, contribute to the debate and be a part of ‘our gang’ here in Berkeley and Sharpness. In other words, they want to join a club. We discussed the many ways we could do this and I demonstrated a web based system that could do all that we wanted – including taking their membership monies. This requires another URL especially for these people who number in their 000’s apparently!
We decided on a name and a URL for this additional site but I’ll keep it for myself for now as we’ve not bought the URL yet. Next time perhaps?
We now have our individual tasks to do to get our submissions in by the due date. Now all we have to do is get on with it!
We are speaking to a few including the Paignton one and we are due a visit in April. I will hook up with you for an overnight mate
