There's one aspect of bequests that's worth thinking about, it seems to me. It feels like part of the mess at the NYMR is ('was', really - it's over, now, mostly) a struggle over power. One faction/group (I'm not sure how many there are,...

I made no comment on their level of commitment. I describe them as third parties because they are independent organisations, not formally part of NYMR, and have their own pressures and drivers which may cause them to change approach to NYMR...

There is another way to look at it, which is that if 10% of your members volunteer (*), what could you do with another 200 volunteers if you could get that membership up to 10,000? (*) And actually I suspect that is a rather impressive ratio Tom

But dismissing the membership out of hand isn't going to help either. Ignoring 50% of your annual donations is incredibly foolish. It sounds like you expect other bodies to give to money and grants whenever you ask for it, and you need that free...

As you point out, many lines face this problem. However, most of them seem to have found a way to answer it. Why not the NYMR? You seem to be looking for an answer inside the usual 'business' box. Perhaps you need to think/look elsewhere - as...

The recent NYMR Trust Strategic Plan was mostly marketing waffle, but did contain this pithy, brutally on-target, observation: "The Trust is dependent on its income from visitors and donors to fund its operations. It has no underpinning public...

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...

Yes I'm sure they'd all be very disturbed to see solid communication and mutual respect between management and members.

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...

Are you saying the other 50% of contributions to appeals does come from members then?

Those figures are but one part of the wider whole, and if members' direct subscriptions are all that is being assessed in this equation, it is to not see the wood for the trees. I am well aware that staying afloat relies upon that support from...

I suggest you have that relationship the wrong way round; without the confidence of the support base, the lenders, regulators and grant funders are likely to be concerned about the viability of the model and, especially, whether the...

Holding the AGM on a weekday won't help with attendance either in person or virtual. Sawdust.

As I recall, the NYMR changed its financial year (I think there was one 15 month "year") which would have a knock-on impact on when you could hold the AGM and probably explains a shift in AGM date from earlier to later in the year. I suspect it...

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.
