The club has been running for several years and has raised funds to restore rebuilt Battle of Britain class locomotive No.34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair. With the successful completion of this locomotive, it has been decided that the next club will support the appeal for L&SWR 0-4-0 Dock Tank No. 30096 (96) Normandy.

This popular little locomotive has served the Bluebell Railway well for many years, a regular performer on the famous Monday shunts and an ambassador for the Bluebell at such events as the 1990 'D Day' celebrations at Southampton Docks, the 2004 '1968 and all that' exhibition at the NRM York and more recently the successful 'Eastleigh 100' event at the works.

A target of £50,000 has been set for its restoration, with a figure of £13,000 already raised and with your support we hope to reach the half way mark by mid 2010. Restoration is expected to start in early 2010, when the locomotive will be able to occupy a suitable area in the locomotive yard.

New members and multiple memberships are very welcome but applicants must be over 16 years of age. The club will consist of at least 300 memberships, each allocated a unique number for the year March 2010 to February 2011. All the draws will take place on the 25th of each month and prizes will be as follows:
