35B a plăcut postul lui Mike S în subiectul GWSR | Cotswold Festival of Steam Gala | 23-25 May 2026.
A word of caution! At this stage this is very much provisional taken from the departments proposed roster. Adding to all the ups and downs planning this year's event, we have over the last week or so had an issue raised with the booked, well in...

35B a plăcut postul lui Jon Lever în subiectul Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Yes indeed. But it is perhaps the impression that the original poster gives of expecting the railway to provide a solution to a problem that they might not even have been contacted about that might diminish the tolerance otherwise afforded.

I will make a personal report (as a visitor) of the Chelfham meeting on my Heritage Herald blog, which comes out weekly on Wednesday evenings.

I don’t expect them to, although I’m not really sure why they fail to realise that this a a group of railway enthusiasts, who are likely to donate to appeals but do expect some transparency on where their donation is going in return. I wouldn’t...

The point you m The point about not responding on social media is reasonable, except when significant staff numbers are specifically employed in PR roles. Employing 17 salaried non-comunicators isn't a sensible use of funds. The WSR has lost...

So whenever the quantity of paid staff on the NYMR is raised, your first line of defence is to talk about the cost of volunteers and how difficult they are to manage. Never the positives of volunteers. Who said anything about Nat-pres? As Pete...

In general, paying staff is not the purpose of the charity but a means to the end. If that end can be met using volunteers, it will generally be possible to achieve more towards those purposes than if the same work has to be paid for. As with...

Facts about what? John, with respect, If we are talking about that awards ceremony, it’s all there in black and white on their website. I’m not continuing this conversation here other than to say if those assumptions aren’t correct then why...

Maybe or maybe not. There are a lot of variables but while accepting a volunteer isn’t actually free it’s doesn’t necessarily go hand in band that a lot of part time volunteers cost more than a smaller number of paid staff. I could also argue...

An old argument about which there’s little new to be said. As I’m seeing in another context, probably the most important thing that leaders can do is minimise the perception of difficulty as people do need to take on those duties. As for the...

35B a plăcut postul lui Jamessquared în subiectul North Yorkshire Moors Railway General Discussion.
If it were GlobalMegaCorp PLC doing the work, probably not. But for an organisation that is making an appeal for every penny it can get to fund the works, I’d expect every opportunity possible to push the message (1) look how much we’ve done...
