Just a quick word from the CNAM, yes, it is all true. What MIZPAH says is accurate.
A very big thank you to all of you who contacted the museum either by visiting, phone or e-mail offering us your support either monetary offers or just hoping with us that we would be successful. We decided as a board of trustees that we would keep quiet about our intention to bid in order to avoid pushing the price up so if you were wondering why we were fairly quiet about it that is why.
It is also true that we made a firm decision not to solicit donations for it until we were certain of that we had been successful and we knew that the money would definitely be going to that cause. If any of you would like to make a donation in terms of money please do write to us, our full address is…

Mizpah was also right about the gift aid, it is worth an extra 28p in the pound to us as a charity and all the money that we raise is ploughed straight back into the ongoing development of the museum both in terms of exhibit acquisition and care, display preparation and ongoing development.
If any of you are keen to come along and get involved with a great bunch of volunteers then we would be delighted to meet you. Come along any time that we are open (see http://www.cnam.co.uk) or drop in to see the volunteers on Volunteer Sundays’ (Sunday 12.00 to 17.00) or Volunteer Evening (Tuesday 20:00 to about 22:00) our subs are cheap, there is great fun and cameraderie to be had and we also have the odd guest speaker, barbeque, party and visit to local aviation sites. If anyone wants more details please post here or drop me a line at the above address.
Thank you everyone for your kind words about the Jaguar both here and elsewhere.
With Kind Regards
