Newsletter 15s were posted to silver and gold members on Thursday 15 December, but unfortunately these seem to be subject to confusion and delay as some members have reported that they have taken a long time to arrive or still haven’t arrived.
I’m sorry for this delay, presumably caused by the volume of Christmas post in the system, hopefully all the newsletters will be delivered soon.
If your newsletter still hasn’t arrived by Wednesday 28 December please let us know.

Volunteers are essential to Swindon Panel. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we have. In recognition of the importance of its volunteers, we are delighted to announce that the Society has been granted £6,000 by the Big Lottery Fund to help us to develop volunteering!
This will help provide resources to help us to find new volunteers and also make it easier for people to participate. It will also be used to provide skills development for our existing volunteers. Looking ahead, we will soon be guiding visitors round our unique exhibit and need to ensure the maximum educational and enjoyment value – the grant will be useful in developing our presentation skills here too.
Look out for more news on this exciting development in the near future!
Very many thanks to Tim who has lead this process from the very beginning and everyone who has helped along the way!
There remains a lot of work to be done on the physical aspects of the building and the search for funding for this continues…
Swindon Panel Newsletter 15 is now on its way to silver and gold members.
We hope you enjoy reading it!
If you’re not in line to receive a copy, but would like to, join SPS now!
SPS held visits to several signal boxes in the formative years of the Society, but we did not hold any in 2016 while we were occupied with heavy work on Swindon Panel. We are delighted to resurrect our interest in visiting signal boxes with this SPS visit to Romsey Signal Box on 15 January 2017.
Everyone is welcome to join us on what promises to be a fascinating day!
