The 200 Club helps raise funds for SVRSevern Valley Railway volunteer projects.

History

The Severn Valley Railway Association began a 100 club in 1983.[1] By 1991 it had become "The 125 Club"[2] with another change to "The 150 Club" from January 1995.[3] By winter 1997-98 it had become "The 200 Club"[4], in which form it has operated for many years.

Membership and raffles

In return for a small monthly membership fee, members can win one of five monthly cash prizes with an enhanced draw held at Christmas. All profits are reinvested in volunteer projects throughout the railway.

From time to time vacancies in the Club are advertised in SVRSevern Valley Railway News and supporters' newsletters[5][6].
