Memorial Fund

Update: September 2007
by Hwfa Jones
A lot is going on now with the Fund. In brief, the Fund is now over halfway home thanks to worldwide donations. We anticipate commissioning the statue around about Christmastime, 2007 just after the Changi eBay auction. We have also been contacted by a television company who is putting together a proposal to film the 'Story of the Memorial', which is very interesting to us all as so many more people will get to know the story if it is on TV. I believe they will also want to film the statue going south and its final placement in Antarctica. Graham and I are also considering a grand tour of the United Kingdom with the statue when it is completed. We’ll put it on a trailer and drive ‘round so Fids all over the UK will have a chance to see it before it heads south. We'll probably have to stay in lots of pubs all over the place where we can meet all the Fids in the vicinity!
