Introduction

The WyvernRail Share Issue was launched in 2002 with the intention of raising £750,000 to purchase and restore the line. The initial target was to raise £45,000 within 40 days to satisfy Companies House requirements and this was reached in just 40 hours. By December 2006, a third of a million pounds had been raised through the support of people wishing to subscribe, towards the overall total of three quarters of a million. This level of support has been very good indeed.

WyvernRail has received very strong support for the share issue with over 50% of subscribers living locally and many living in Wirksworth itself. As a result of this strong support, the Board of Directors initially extended the share issue further and, with the approval of our shareholders, the deadline has been extended significantly and prospective shareholders can continue to join the company throughout the coming years, subject to the usual legalities.
