Indeed. But this neutral is starting from the perspective that it would only have happened if required, not as a matter of choice.

Hi Keith, sorry I didn't make it clear that it was aimed at Stuart Reeder and not StoneRoad

Well, they were interested enough to bankroll it to the tune of £3/4m, even for Mr Hosking that's an order of magnitude or two beyond what you might chuck in a collecting tin on a whim... Sent from my PGT-N19 using Tapatalk

Agreed, the GCR-RST is in distinctly poor odour with me at the moment, supporters of the Trust should have been made aware that the collection was going to be broken up, rather than finding out randomly via social media. I also don't appreciate...

No doubt preaching to the choir here ... There are quite a few organisations providing grants. But they don't just hand out money --- They usually require the recipient to be Trust or other charitable body - which should either own the objects...

Mention upthread of Alf raises a different point, also relevant here. The internet means that superficially credible appeals can be made, which in reality are little more than someone scribbling online with nothing behind them, and borrowing...

I presume the latter - on a good day. More to the point, I think we’re seeing a demonstration of the difficulties of working with very large numbers. The scale difference between £100 and £1000 is large, but can be bridged. Yet people often...

Indeed, but it would favour Stuart if he could provide some idea of how he intends to fund this project to any extent. Or is it a case of, 'someone donated £20 this week, so we'll buy some screws', meanwhile the roof of the vehicle is collapsing...

Thanks! Over to you now Stuart - please explain how you are going to raise (let’s say) £3/4m - you’re not going to get that from go fund me.

With your professional hat on, would the guesstimate that Stuart has mentioned of £150-250k each be reasonable, or miles from reality?
