StuartP Posted November 26, 2007 Author Posted November 26, 2007 Apologies to all I was hoping to get coins into the post this weekend, but due to family illness (toddlers and stomach bugs) this hasn't happened. Coins will go into the post mid/late this week. Cheers Stuart Quote

Anyone in the UK / Europe that paid by paypal then your coins are on their way. Those in the states, I've forwarded your details to our Canadian partners for shipping. Anyone reading the tread thats not yet ordered, why not get that geocaching loved one a present for christmas, and at the same time help out a worthy cause. SVR Flood Appeal Geocoin Available in both Antique silver, and a limited run of antique gold. Cheers Stuart Quote

+chizu Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Just ordered a silver and a gold they look lovely Quote
+L8HNB Posted December 4, 2007 Posted December 4, 2007 All three received on Monday, they are excellent and well worth the pennies! Thanks for all your efforts Stuart. One question, I think I read that the silver coin was limited edition. Ours has no serial number so I guess they have not been number recorded? L&H Quote

+John Stead Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 One question, I think I read that the silver coin was limited edition. Ours has no serial number so I guess they have not been number recorded? L&H My silver one certainly has a number and it is big enough to read without a magnifying glass unlike some. It is at the bottom on the side with the signal box and signal. Mine came yesterday and are really nice - now to steel myself to releasing one. Quote
+TrainSPLOTer Posted December 8, 2007 Posted December 8, 2007 Just placed my order (2 Silver & 1 Gold) for very worthy cause. My caching name gives a bit away about my other hobbies. I am involved with a large heritage railway in northern England which recently held a fund raising event for the Severn Valley Railway which raised in the region £15K for Flood Damage Appeal. That event involved a lot of people your individual efforts Stuart are just as important if not more important. Excellent work. For those cachers with an interest in steam locomotives the locomotive featured on the coin is A4 60009 'Union of South Africa' which until recently was based on the Severn Valley Railway. The owner has now relocated it to nearer his home in Scotland. It is hope that this engine will join the two other working A4 (60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' and 60019 'Bittern' ) for a week (last weekend in March and first week of April 2008) on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Fans of LNER engines an event not to be missed along with a bit of caching as well. One of my coins will be released in cache GCW2AQ Once again Stuart well done Quote

StuartP Posted December 14, 2007 Author Posted December 14, 2007 I've just posted the 10 more orders out today this would have happened last weekend but we had no power for over 10 hours on Sunday which made getting order info a bit hard. I've got 30 Gold coins, left and 100 Silver ones still to go. Cheers Stuart Quote
+vw_k Posted December 16, 2007 Posted December 16, 2007 Mine arrived just in time for my birthday! What a great coin and for a great cause. Thank you very much. Quote

Cheers Stuart We put in a order for one of each and paid by paypal for the coins on the 14th Dec, have tried to contact the email address in the actual advert and had it bounced back to us as undeliverable..... any idea if our coins have been sent out yet as these were ordered as a xmas present and i thought 7 days adequate time for postage etc as first class takes 1 day normally and even though it's xmas i still can send mail from yorkshire to cornwall forst class to arrive the following day!

Team Vorvik I've dispatched the coins Royal Mail Special Delivery(at an additional cost above the postage paid), the delay was caused by no notification from PayPal that payment had been received. I've sent an e-mail requesting details of the e-mail bounce, as far as I'm aware everything is working I've certainly had e-mail to that address and others on the same account in the last 7 days. Regards Stuart Quote

StuartP Posted January 11, 2008 Author Posted January 11, 2008 I've just been to the post office to dispatch another 10 coins. The money raised from these coins for the SVR currently stands at £780. With <30 Gold coins remaining, many more silver, it would be really great if we could break the £1000 mark by the end of the month. Cheers Stuart Quote

+mumbo jumbo Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Just ordered one. Surprised that the optional donation drop down stopped at just £7. Hope you make it to £1,000 by the end of the month! Quote
StuartP Posted January 14, 2008 Author Posted January 14, 2008 Just ordered one. Surprised that the optional donation drop down stopped at just £7. Hope you make it to £1,000 by the end of the month! Well, you're the first person to want to donate more than £7 Seriously, anyone wishing to make just a donation, get in touch, I'm happy to take your money and add it to the amount donated from the coins. Or of course feel free to by some more coins. Cheers Stuart Quote
StuartP Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 2 Weeks on, and the Fund still stands at <£800 , with 1 day to go till the end of the month the £1000 target looks a long way off. Coins are still available in both Silver and Gold finishes. Cheers Stuart Quote
