Indeed, and the refusal of Ian Cowling to making it clear before the offering closed that the planning permission for, er, a railway from WB,...
Ah a voice of sanity! Thank you @ghost As @Michael B wisely notes (it's almost as he has some professional background in accountancy and...
Touche!
I agree with all of this, @35B but the financial perspective will ultimately prevail, I fear.
Mitchell @Small Prairie you're apparently wilfully missing the point. The pub is only (marginally) profitable because it is subsidised by the...
I would be happy to accept this, @Flying Phil if there had been no offers of help (professional or otherwise) and the process had been as open and...
Way to miss the point, Mitchell @Small Prairie. It may well be your local, but like many pubs up and down the country, if it cannot pay its way,...
Mitchell - this is not about whether you want OSHI as your local, it is about what the impact of OSHI is on the railway. If it were as successful...
Which locals? North Devon isn't exactly short of good pubs. And if the alternative is bankrupting the Trust or breaking charity law, then which...
Based on the Charity Commission rule that charities cannot bail out failing subsidiaries, then the medium term choices are pretty stark: - Hope...

From the Facebook page, Giles Perkins has said that the slides and a video of the meeting will be posted shortly. A good step! If there's going...
I understand Giles had a set of Powerpoint slides. Are these posted anywhere for those of us who couldn't be in Lynton (I was at a funeral).
As @Meatman says, @Lineisclear , you're extrapolating from a hypothetical to assert a conclusion about the L&B today - which I'm afraid, given the...
There would be all the time in the world to discuss things if the meeting started at say 2pm and then broke for a dinner break and continued to...
Thanks for this @Old Kent Biker . I hope that there is a commitment from the Trust to develop the extension options with the whole of the L&B...
Amen. And transparently missing from the Trust's approach for many years.
I think L&BRT Members get fixated on the AGM as it is one of the very few times in the year when questions can be raised to the Trustees. There is...
