    Joking aside, I’m not sure it’s a totally stupid idea - a masonic almoner deals with the ill and elderly brethren and their widows/relicts. given that at their best some railways are like family I think many more should be doing likewise....

    I think the point is that the two organisations are at a point where they can do so. That is in and of itself a significant step forward compared with where they were not so long ago.

    Thanks - somewhat as I suspected, that the effort is incremental but probably not to the detriment of other volunteering.

    I think that is very difficult to answer. BT isn’t a membership publication, so isn’t a valid comparison, but Bluebell News is produced explicitly for the membership. So let’s assume I spend 1 day per quarter on that to produce the loco report....

    Out of curiosity, what is the labour impact of membership? To what extent does maintaining a membership require volunteers to divert from other tasks, either directly (eg membership secretary) or in publicity (eg your role in Bluebell Times)?

    We had some hard data presented at the Bluebell AGM last weekend which allowed putting some numbers to it. We have two classes of membership: life members (who currently pay something like £900, but who of course may have joined years ago) get...

    Sorry, a shorthand. What I have in mind are the MK1s sold into preservation that had been “modernised” and which have generally been maintained “as preserved” rather than restored to as built condition. But in the context of comments here, I...

    Absolutely no criticism of yourself and sounds like a good deal for you, but one that costs the railway a significant sum in potential lost revenue (understanding that at normal cost you may not travel that often ) Problem with these deals is...
