    The Balmoral Restoration Fund has reached the last eight in the Regional round of this years deserving projects.

    The sum of £50k is up for grabs, and the intention is to apply this to the restoration of the Britannia Lounge on the promenade deck

    See :-http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/new...-Balmoral/article-2861306-detail/article.html for details and how to obtain the relevant telephone number to call during the available hours on the 24th

    Good God; a half-useful story in the Evening Herald! Consider it diarised.

    The voting phone number is 0871 62 68 125 - not sure if hitting REDIAL gets extra votes but it's worth a try.

    I see that the Peoples Millions Web Site has just updated to show Balmoral as last nights winner. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to vote.

    Great news . . .

    I do wonder if it may be a nice gesture if Waverley Excursions were to make a few free tickets available to Peasedown Community Farm to raffle off and help them with their funding . . . it being a worthwhile project and all that . . . .

    Many thanks for your suggestion, I passed your sugestion on to the "powers that be" and I understand that Peasedown Community Farm will, or indeed have received some tickets from Waverley Excursions.
