    Coming back closer to the debate about steam and fire risk - Surely after the many catastrophic house fires being a headline story on the TV news, it is a huge PR own-goal for any steam railway (unless copiously being rained on) to continue to...

    Well if you listen to Lineisclear, that person with the bequest is not that important because they are 'just' a member/supporter and he would rather time is spent chasing Arts Council grants than looking after the members and supporters who have...

    Here is the very problem, an organisation addicted to tax payers money like it is crack! It sees no reason for reform of its gargantuan wage bill. I travelled on the railway for the first time in ages this year, in fact the last time was when...

    Isn't someone here forgetting the financial saving of having volunteers doing some of the labouring. I asume to.be a volunteer you need to be a member if you had to replace them all by paid staff that would be a big hole to fill Sent from my...

    Rather than shoot the messenger, why not take their advice on board? If they had included a simple explanation as per the latter part of this post and the more detailed one in your previous post then the speculation would never have happened.

    Putting aside the misuse of the word cancelled instead of postponed, a tiny bit of common sense would tell people that, as @free2grice said, a simple explanation would have done wonders.

    To prevent endless speculation and discussions such as this one on Nat-Pres, the NYMR should have learnt by now that instead of simply announcing that the AGM has been cancelled, they should have added a short note explaining why. <BJ>
