The Steve
Durkin Sandstone Trust
"Ensuring
Sandstone Climbing's Future"
Welcome to the web presence
of The Steve Durkin Sandstone Trust. These
few pages are here to inform you about the work and purpose of the trust and
also to encourage you to get involved.
The trust was formed in 2011 with the purpose of generating a fund that could
be used to maintain both the condition of and access to the Wealden Sandstone
outcrops of Kent and Sussex, colloquially known as "Southern Sandstone"
after the Climbers' Club guides that describe the area.
The trust is funded 100% by donation and fundraising and is likely to remain
that way. As an individual you may wish to contribute by an occasional donation,
by a regular donation (Standing order) or by allotting part or all of the proceeds
from a fund raising event to the Trust. As an example, the Tunbridge Wells Mountaineering
Club's recent film evening was a free viewing, attendees being asked for a donation
to the SDST. Sponsored events (not sponsored climbing events on the crags!)
are one way in which the Trust could benefit from your efforts. The Trust has
an operational bank account into which funds can be transferred (please let
the treasurer know so that full records can be kept) and we have a 'just giving'
account for clear and uncomplicated details for sponsored events and the like.
Sandstone Bulletin - This is an occasional publication the trust plans to publish
to make climbers aware of the current issues, projects, fund-raising events
and such like. The first issue was published in February 2012 and is available
from local climbing shops and climbing walls or downloadable here.
Recent donations have been received from:
East Grinstead Climbing
Club
Malcolm McPherson - proceeds from a climbing and cycling event
'Old Farts' Christmas Barbecue
- from Nuts4Climbing
........Thank you all!
