Hi AJ,
Good idea. I might still be a little naive, but I still think that if every Campaign member, or supporter of our Campaign, sent in a small sum of money (similar to the "Save Whalom Park - Buy a Whale Appeal" in America) it could make every difference to Dreamland's long-term survival. Saying that, it could prove rather difficult to administer, however the Save Whalom Campaign are claiming to return any funds to contributors should their actions fail ultimately.
Anything must surely be worth trying, however with the present paper car stickers, it does show that every expense has been spared in producing them, unlike a vinyl colour version.

PS Anyone view last Friday's Meridian Tonight News feature on the Margate resort? - I unfortunately had an intrusive phone call just at the wrong time and could not listen properly. It appeared to show no pictures of the current Dreamland Park; was this intentional, one thinks? Apologies if I missed anything, but I did catch a view of the park in days long gone by, featuring the double wheel in the background.
PPS Anyone interested in past days at Butlin's holiday camps, and comments can visit "www.butlinsmemories.com" - I think it's a good site. (I have entered some cross-remarks relating to our Campaign to attract further hopeful support)
