Hi All, On 11/11/2007 I wrote proposing a donation to the Droitwich Canals Trust of £86.95 from GIG monies left over from the last GIG in the name of Mike Stevens. Each metre of the restored canal will cost 86.95 UKP. This will give much needed monies to the excellent work being carried on by the trust and leave a lasting memorial in Mike's name on a post being erected on a 'Brindley' post in Vines Park, Droitwich.
It was further proposed by Bruce Peckett that 2 more names should be added to the post, Jeff Dennison and Syd Arkless, who also contributed to the success of the GIG's, especially in the early GIG years. I therefore intend to pay 3 donations in the above names. Total cost is £260.85, which still leaves £135.71 in the account for the use of future GIG organisers. I have sent this email to canal list and Cutweb. Pete Stockdale kindly also posted the original message to UKRECWW. Pete, would you also relay the above post again for their information. On behalf of the trust I would like to thank all those who contributed to the GIG account over the years. I consider this to be a very fitting tribute to those mentioned above. I will keep you posted with any communication I receive from the trust. Regards, Andrew PS Can someone confirm I have the names spelt correctly.
