    Why? It might be the HoF’s fault. There is no reason why someone else (possibly several members) on the board might not also have sufficient financial expertise and be able to spend less time producing the financial figures and more time...

    ’Expertise on tap’ from outside the Board is an excellent principle to remember. It is not essential always to have, for example, the ‘Head of Finance’ or the ‘Head of Engineering’ on the Board, although no reason why they shouldn’t be. The...

    I’ve referred many times to my experience elsewhere. On the board where I’m an elected trustee, I can only serve two terms and then have to stand down. The elected posts connected to the board also come with term limits. It’s made to work with...

    It seems a pity if no action was taken by the EA for dumping concrete debris in the river, undoubtedly an environmental breach. However, in itself, the partial demolition of the bridge may have been no crime since it remained the landowners’...

    I doubt that’s the attitude of authorities. The act was one of criminal damage and or an environmental crime. I think though that railway might reasonably feel that “least said, soonest mended” applies.

    At the end of the day, as much as it might stick in some people's throats The Railway has to act correctly and be a good neighbour even if your neighbour hates you, and wishes you gone, the railway has to be above it, The best answer to those...

    Thanks for the link. This is a long but extremely interesting video with loads of photos and plans with detailed explanations of how the level crossings, bridges etc will actually be constructed. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the...

    Just to observe the "another church in the next village" is exactly what you describe about railways - and if people leave their local church, there are good odds they won't land at another, especially if its in another village. The answer in...

    Paul. The 3.1/2 miles Robertsbridge to Bodiam station I quoted was simply the old general mileage description used by BR. The actual distance from the buffer stops at the new Robertsbridge station to the RVR land boundary short of Bodiam station...

    I feel with Stuart at Woody Bay you have perhaps the best working culture you can have, both employed and volunteer. The problems with gaining and holding volunteers is right across the volunteer sector and has been now for many years and due to...

    It is one of the biggest issues in the voluntary world, and maintaining the right culture is very hard. If you have people in positions who have never had the opportunity to learn about how voluntary culture works and how to get the best out of...

    The architectural style of the new station building at Robertsbridge is designed to follow the same style as the Colonel's station building at Tenterden - including the 'corrugated iron' roof covering. The roof covering we used on the toilet...

    Very impressive - a new landmark building for Robertsbridge and a great facility for the railway. But it also somehow reminded me of this: "I suppose you know what we mean by a station, it has a corrugated roofing; it is not a Clapham Junction"...
