    Out of curiosity, what is the labour impact of membership? To what extent does maintaining a membership require volunteers to divert from other tasks, either directly (eg membership secretary) or in publicity (eg your role in Bluebell Times)?

    We had some hard data presented at the Bluebell AGM last weekend which allowed putting some numbers to it. We have two classes of membership: life members (who currently pay something like £900, but who of course may have joined years ago) get...

    Sorry, a shorthand. What I have in mind are the MK1s sold into preservation that had been “modernised” and which have generally been maintained “as preserved” rather than restored to as built condition. But in the context of comments here, I...

    And, where secondary spend is concerned, it always needs to be remembered that it is not £5-£10 profit to the railway, but £5-£10 income that has to pay the costs of what has been purchased.

    Absolutely no criticism of yourself and sounds like a good deal for you, but one that costs the railway a significant sum in potential lost revenue (understanding that at normal cost you may not travel that often ) Problem with these deals is...

    Indeed, though rising costs have apparently affected other movements so no criticism is intended of any party. But, without knowledge of the details, I queried the immediate assumption that it was an issue with the locomotive - no more, no less.

    Issues with Odney, or issues with the cost of transport?

    Thank you for that, on which last paragraph I’m delighted that we agree. As regards the disputed wording, I think each of our positions are clear and we will need to agree to disagree on the significance of “as volunteers” in the...

    John, You are indeed correct in saying that a majority of the Trustees today are working members but that was not the case a couple of years ago when the appointments board effectively denied volunteers the right to stand in favour of outsiders...
