RailWest 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...

My point precisely - Mike Whiteacre, already a Trustee, pitched in to be Chairman for the dismissals resolutions, convinced me that he is level headed, and that I might be able to rely upon him to be one of the 'good' guys. A potential...

RailWest liked Keith Sims's post in the thread West Somerset Railway General Discussion.
Took a ride behind Witherslack Hall yesterday: splendid Blue bells trackside above Williton, huge teddy bear at Teddy Bear crossing, and most significant of all lots of tree planting in the "potato field" above Trible bridge. hopefully the latter...

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...

Further to my previous comments about a Trust from which I 'resigned' (by not renewing), for at least 2 years thereafter they kept sending me raffle tickets to sell! It turned out that the raffle was organised by a member who held his own copy of...

RailWest liked rgprosser's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
As one of the "endorsed" candidates, the first that I heard of being on that list was a friend taking the micky about it on Saturday. I was actually expecting to be standing AGAINST a set of "official" candidates selected by the Board. I suspect...

RailWest liked simon's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.

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

On a note of trivia.... I note that this forum is now on Page 666. Might this perhaps be the year of the (removal of) the Beast ? :-)

I tend to agree on recording surreptitiously, as informed consent is important. However, for General Meetings of an organisation in which the minutes tend to be very vague (so much so that there isn't even approval of the previous year's minutes...
