After being involved with the collection and delivery of the locomotive buffers to the B17 workshop, the Cambs and Fens Group have a special interest in the Buffer Restoration Appeal.
So when they were asked by March Lions to suggest a local charity requiring funds, the Buffer Appeal was nominated. To enhance the application, a matched funding offer was proposed. On Wednesday 12th October 2022, the Lions approved a grant of £100 and the local B17 Group members quickly subscribed towards their part of the award offer.
