Rugby Model Engineers Covid 19 Fund Appeal
Rugby Model Engineering Society is a not for profit organisation with a large proportion of its costs funded by their Rainsbrook Valley Railway.
During this Covid 19 pandemic, the railway has not been able to operate due to major difficulties in adhering to social distancing guidelines. As a result, funding has dried up. These funds pay our bills, ongoing maintenance and finance our current projects are now on hold. We have no paid staff.
Can you support our organisation though these unprecedented times, to ensure that we are ready to open when restrictions allow, and maybe put towards getting some of our projects back on track (no pun intended) for a better experience for your next visit?
