    What documents are these ? I've seen nothing that is not, or should not be, available to all members.

    There was one on this forum marked 'Company Confidiental'. There were a few others which were clearly not meant to be circulated. However I would add that some documents sent to members are intended for members only and should not be posted here....

    My experience in the 'world of business' is that there needs to be confidientiality - so I don't find what the L and B are doing as unusual or excessive. It does worry me that documents which are clearly company confidiential are leaked and...

    Streaming would be an excellent idea. So would expanding the meeting to allow both formal business and wider discussion of the Trust, CIC and their plans. That the time allowed for the meeting is so short, and the conduct from the top table so...

    Thanks for your insight. In a way it is a pity that the meeting can't be streamed so that we can observe what happens first hand. Maybe streaming the meeting might have a positive effect on the conduct of the meeting. I am a member of another...

    Thanks for your insight into what actually happened at the AGM. It is a pity that the person who attempted to answer the question didn't realise that these were new members with limited knowledge of the history and regulations. Maybe for future...

    With all due respect, has it occurred to you and the original poster that the question that was asked at the meeting, and i was there, was from a new member who hasn't got the background information on the original planning and subsequent S73...

    Good morning Toby, a quick reply while watching the sun rise over the bay at Lynton and before another day at Woody Bay working on Carriage 17. (Which I will just add is now back in serviceable condition with one sorry looking frame successfully...

    Quite right and it is up to the board to decide if and when to make that information available to the Public or members.

    And sometimes whether due to privilege or commercial reasons things have to be kept confidential and "at board level". I perfectly understand a membership requesting information but sometimes as a company the board may just not be able or it not...

    Likewise, surely, there is never any reason for a trustee or other official to shout at (much less strike - as has occurred previously) a trust member?

    I took the comment as a quote from a question asked by a member at the AGM where they didn't listen to the answer.

    If If I told you " we don't own the land directly after paracombe halt" would you , 20 seconds later as the next question be "why can't we just not terminate in paracombe and go stright through paracombe halt?"

    Congratulations to the four elected trustees and in particular the three new members of the board. You join at an interesting time. My heartfelt thanks go also to those willing to put themselves forward to take on the role, even though they were...

    Sorry but it tells me that some members have made their minds up and will not listen to the trustees - I realise that some may be frustrated but that is no reason to shout at the trustees.
