This is the support group of the City of Portsmouth Preserved Transport Depot, one of three separate bus preservation centres in
Hampshire / West Sussex administered by the Working Omnibus Museum Project Ltd., a registered charity no. 1020411.
If you are interested in old buses and are a hands-on and get mucky sort of person, the Friends of CPPTD could be just your kind
of society! Alternatively, if you do not wish, or are unable, to offer physical help we will be just as pleased to welcome you, and
your subscription will be equally as valuable.
For your annual subscription you will receive at least 4 issues of our magazine, the Broad Street Broad Sheet, which will keep you
informed of progress on the vehicles and depots as well as news of other preservation projects, the whereabouts of old Portsmouth and
Southdown buses, articles and details of tours, visits and other social events. Taxpayers can help us considerably by completing the
Gift Aid declaration form to enable us to reclaim tax paid by you on your donations for as long as the Gift Aid scheme lasts.
A proportion of your subscription will go towards preservation projects and the upkeep of the vehicles and depots, as well as the
purchase of essential tools and equipment. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that, by your financial, practical and moral
support, items of importance in local road passenger transport history are being restored to working order and preserved for posterity.
The costs of moving our collection of vehicles and artefacts, not to mention tools, paint, workbenches and spares, out of storage and
into Wicor Farm, has been considerable, and the support and help of the Friends is now more vital than ever. It is essential that we
keep alive the spirit of the City of Portsmouth Preserved Transport Depot!
We firmly believe that our hobby should be educational, stimulating, enjoyable and rewarding, but, above all, FUN, and we have always
tried to reflect this in our style of operation.
