GWSR launching shares offer for Broadway...

hi, sorry if this is wrong section, still getting to grips with this forum, been having a nose on it for a while, thought I ought to join up ;-)

The Gloucestershire Warwickshire railway, or Honeybourne line as we seem to rebranding ourselves, has launched a shares issue entitled "Bridges to Broadway". The main bulk of the remaining cost to getting to Broadway is the £500,000 needed to repair the five bridges along the route:

1. Station Road, Broadway – £215,000
2. Childswickham Road, Broadway – £86,000
3. Pry Lane, Broadway – £18,000
4. Peasebrook Farm, Cheltenham Road, Broadway – £46,000
5. Little Buckland, Broadway – £192,000

Once we get to Broadway we will have a 28 mile round trip from Cheltenham racecourse to Broadway, connecting two major tourist places in the Cotswolds. The work done so far for Broadway so far is frankly magnificent, considering it is all done by volunteers, both platforms are virtually complete (accommodating up to 10 coach trains) should you wish to have a nose at what's going on at the station site, the team there run an excellent blog at http://broadwaygwsr.blogspot.co.uk/.

Shares cost £1 and can be purchased in minimum quantities of 100.



Everyone at the GWSR can't wait to reach Broadway, so despite the odd embankment setback, we are determined to get there, I think somewhere between 2017-18. Sound like a long time, speed it up and buy some shares

Shares can be ordered by cheque through the post, or the prospectus is here: http://gwsr.com/BridgestoBroadway.pdf

Just thought you might like to know,

Alex
