Plane Informer

Posted by MGB 2009

Plane Informer is the journal of the Foxton Inclined Plane Trust. Members receive four copies each year.

Whilst concentrating on the Trust's aims, especially the Restoration of the Lift, articles in Informer are wide ranging and topical - usually about canals but sometimes about members outings.

Informer is produced in-house. The Editor is the Museum Keeper Mike Beech. Articles are supplied by members. Mike is supported by a team of volunteers who proof read the articles and post the journal to members. The printing is done by Wigston College 'Reprographics'.

The pdf articles available from this page represent a selection of past articles which may be of interest to you.
