Old Kent Biker liked Michael B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
The attempt to have a motion on the agenda for the AGM to dismiss Peter Miles is now in the public arena, having been mentioned in the May issue of Narrow Gauge World. Unfortunately the piece lists the date as 18th May - it got me...

Old Kent Biker liked Pete Thornhill's post in the thread Trying to register, email verification problem - please read as important.
There is currently an issue with the verification emails being sent out. Unfortunately, there is a problem somewhere which means the system is not actually sending out the verification email. To further complicate matters, the forum 'contact...

Old Kent Biker liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
True, but.....there is already 1 on the Board whom most of us would regard as 'good', so 4 + 1 = 5 :-)

Old Kent Biker liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I read the original comment as 5 trustees being elected.

The assumption must be that there is already one 'good' trustee in-post.

Old Kent Biker liked 35B's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I fear that it may be wishful thinking. Normally, I'd say that an AGM of a parent company shouldn't get into detail on a subsidiary - it has/should have it's own AGM, and the accounts go to it's shareholders. However, this situation is slightly...

Old Kent Biker liked Widge's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Rob, thank you for your open and honest take on this matter. Whilst as others point out, is is not unusual to see charity Trustee candidates recommended by an incumbent Board, I think in this case, and where we have a very divided membership, it...

I agree. Endorsement is a guide, but one amongst several available to any member willing to read the materials provided. There is plenty of information available to help assess the candidates, and the impact that they are likely to have on the...

Perfectly legally. It’s for the purpose of managing the organisation and, in the absence of a formal resignation, the trust could not be aware of the intent to resign. This is why, when I decided not to renew membership of another society, I...

Old Kent Biker liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I am treasurer for a couple of membership organisations and it can take months for renewing members to pay their membership fees - in some cases we are still chasing payments 6 months later. It is also very easy to miss an email where a member...

Old Kent Biker liked H Cloutt's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I do not see this as in any way sinister or irratating - in fact it is fairly common practice in contested elections. With 6 candidates for 4 trustees a number of things are bound to happen (1) at least two of the candidates recommended by the...

Maybe they think you are still a member? It would 'interesting' IMHO (if perhaps morally wrong) to send in a postal vote anyway and then see what reaction you get :-)

Of course, an organisation that retained your personal data beyond the point at which they needed it for the stated business purpose might be on somewhat sticky ground in GDPR terms ;) Too soon? :) Tom

Funnily enough I was just catching up and thinking exactly the same thing when I read your post, and remember well how the WSR thread was the same as you say. Mod note - Please can we try to remain on the subject this thread is about - the L&B...

There will inevitably be a bit of a hiatus, as voting slips are being received and sent in, and most people have decided how they will vote by now, but I'm sure things will liven up again on or about May 11th! Talking of the L&B, has anybody...
