  Not sure if this has been mentioned.
  
  A good cause. I wish them luck. They work hard to keep our local history alive.

  Thanks David!
  
  We're working really hard to get the iconic Thumper unit running again! We need all the support we can get, so if anyone fancies helping us out with a bit of painting or a small donation to the charity, we would be very grateful! :)
