    You are right to raise the "what if" in the event that a donation is insufficient - this is why there should always be wording on charitable appeals. However, those are more relevant to appeals than restricted funds per se. For them, when I had...

    I'm sure @Lineisclear can indicate the likely view of NYMRT trustees on this. As a trustee elsewhere, I'd want to think very carefully about such a restriction, and how it might fit with what else we would be doing. And, as a donor, if I...

    I suggest that attendance is at least in part a function of the importance given to them by the organisation's leadership, demonstrated by the level of encouragement to attend and the space within the event (not necessarily as "AGM" business) for...

    More typical behaviour for some Nat Pres contributors is to only comment when something has gone wrong. I’m reminded of the very old Private Eye fake Daily Mail article:- TRAINS ARRIVES ON TIME SHOCK The 0847 service from Bristol to Par and the...

    If realistic figures are put into the equation, the results are realistic. An industrial 0-6-0 is going to command £500/day and should be looking for 100 days/year. That’s £50k/year or £500k for the mythical 10 year ticket. A medium size ex BR...
