    I have bought shares in several projects, they are just papers in a drawer. There is no market for them, I consider them just donations. Lyn is up and running, so sending the money to the project worked, and the result is there for all to see....

  2. Colin Rutledge liked pmh_74's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

    Does the '762 club' have members/shareholders or are they merely donors? It seems to me that the project's aims are clear, so the only question is whether they're delivering it, or not. Up-thread was a link to a progress video. I watched it, and...

    Lots... Depends which but of normal you want back. For fire-risk reduction purposes in the short term, a week of steady drizzle would probably be best, as it gets all the dry dead stuff damp, which is the short-term problem. For a longer-term...

    There are lots of riveted steel fireboxes out there but there are a growing number of welded steel fireboxes. The problem with a riveted box is it requires lap joints and that is a weak spot compared with a welded box because there is a greater...

    I would suggest that anyone interested needs to go back and read the comments in Post 16410 and also note the change in the M&A's in the Companies House records. Item 10 called for a General Meeting and was later modified to say that the charity...
