This page will close on the 19th of June. During that short period of time you, our supporters and fellow modelers have raised a staggering amount of money for which we shall ever be grateful. In addition, we have received numerous offers of goods and help in all sorts of ways. Thank you one and all We are currently formulating plans but above all we are determined that we will be promoting model railway modelling amongst the local youngsters and model rail clubs. Please look in at www.mdmrc.org or our facebook page for updates.

We are so immensely grateful to everyone who has donated, Sir Rod Stewart has been especially generous. Thank you Sir Rod! All your donations will help us and others, so hurt and damaged by the destruction, to start to rebuild. It is very early days but we will now also be able to start thinking about what projects we might be able to undertake and how we can help others. Keep an eye on our website www.mdmrc.org and our Facebook page for further news.

We originally hoped for £500 to fund some of our rebuilding costs. The response has been out of this world and overwhelming. We are truly grateful for everything that has been donated both money and gifts. We weren't the only ones to suffer and our thoughts are now turning to those others affected and how we might assist them too.
