Update: 25 August
A little bit later than had been hoped, but The 762 Club now has
175 members from a maximum of
350 - that's 50
%!
Lyn Baldwin has already generously confirmed the sponsorship of the coal rails to celebrate reaching this milestone, so well done to one and all!
Now there's just another 175 members to recruit ...
Update: 12 August
Lyncentives 3 didn't QUITE reach its target - the 762 Club now has
174 members from a maximum of
350 - that's
49.7%!!
Perhaps, if the next membership can be secured very soon, Lyn Baldwin may still pay for the coal rails!...
Could YOU be the
50%-er!?
E762 Membership news.
Lyncentives 3 was launched earlier this month, and is close to helping the project achieve a notable milestone:
A 762 Club member posted this on Exmoor-NG earlier today:
Membership now stands at 170! Just 5 more to go and 50% of memberships will have been taken up.
If we get those 5 more by midnight BST 31 July (just 3 days to go), then Lyn
Baldwin will pay for the coal rails!
C'mon folks - don't let Lyn down!!! :)
