Crich Photoshoot




Crich Photoshoot

by bluegoblin7 » 03.02.2008, 19:51

Hello all,

I have posted this to the Yahoo! Group, but would also like to see if anyone here is interested.

What I plan to do, is organise a photo shoot, either night or day, and have a theme to it.

Please can you suggest possible themes, aswell as whether night/day, possible trams, and whether or not you would be interested!

Please note, it will incur a cost of £25 minimum, to cover the cost of hire, equipment etc. However, this should also cover the cost of museum entry depending on when the shoot is!

The money raised would go to a cause chosen by you and members of the Yahoo! Group. Current possible causes include:
*Towards Blackpool 298's Restoration
*Towards Blackpool 59 Restoration
*Towards London 1's restoration
*Towards the cost of a visiting tramcar (currently either a boat or a balloon, if Blackpool Transport and Crich are ok with it!)
*Towards the cost of buying 1 of Blackpool's Trams that will be made redundant when the new trams come online - while Crich may get some for nothing, they still have to pay transport costs to Crich or Clay Cross!)

Please comment!

Surely this should raise funds for something sanctioned by the board. I have not heard anything about Crich wanting to borrow a tram from Blackpool - indeed they have only ever had two visiting trams and that was in exchange for 40 and 1297 in 1985.

Likewise is there any indication that the TMS wish to obtain a redundant car from Blackpool? With the possible exception of a trailer car set from what I remember of the trams report there are no gaps that Blackpool cars could fill.

Hello Paul,

Firstly, before we make a decision, we would like to know where members would like the money to go.

Secondly, anything involving tramcars will be relayed to the board, so they will find out!

Finally, in the hiring of Crich, we need to state our intentions. So, either way, everyone will know.

Personally, I feel the money should go to a restoration, but I want to know what the community thinks!

Thanks,
