Important Update: Friends of Locomotive 4930 Hagley Hall Rewards Scheme

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all who have supported Locomotive 4930 Hagley Hall through the Friends of 4930 rewards scheme. Your dedication and generosity have played a crucial rolein preserving and celebrating this magnificent piece of railway history.

We are writing to inform our valued supporters that, as of 1st July 2025, the Friends of 4930 Hagley Hall Rewards Scheme has now closed to new members. This decision has not been taken lightly, and follows a comprehensive review of our fundraising and engagement strategy for the coming years.

While we are no longer accepting new participants into the scheme, we are pleased to confirm that existing reward scheme members will continue to enjoy their benefits for the time being. Furthermore, should any current member wish to increase their regular donation, they may still do so in order to progress to a higher rewards tier, where applicable. We wholeheartedly encourage those who feel able to do this, as every additional pound continues to support the ongoing upkeep and legacy of 4930 Hagley Hall.

Looking ahead, we anticipate the rewards scheme will formally conclude. We will, of course, keep all donors updated well in advance of any final closure, and ensure that each and every supporter receives appropriate recognition for their contribution.

This change does not signal the end of our journey, far from it. In fact, we are working behind the scenes on exciting new developments and fresh opportunities for involvement, which we look forward to sharing with you in the coming months. Your continued support has been, and remains, the lifeblood of this endeavour, and we are tremendously grateful for the sense of community and shared purpose that has grown around the Friends.

As always, should you have any questions about your existing donation level, please do not hesitate to contact our team directly via this website.

Thank you once again for standing with us in the preservation of one of Britain’s most cherished steam locomotives. We look forward to the next chapter together.

With warmest regards,

The Friends of Locomotive 4930 Hagley Hall Committee
