    Don’t forget Tom, we’ll also need another company setup to manage these people and separate them from the 47 other L&B companies!

    So you need a CEO, a CFO and a Company Secretary. Conservatively that has added an unbudgeted £150k to the wage bill - of an organisation that turns over £1m and in an era when all such organisations are struggling for money. Tom

    So a bit of an update from me, not having looked at this forum for a while. Yes, that was the one original siding dating back to LBSCR days that hadn't been lifted, post 1913. It was life expired and then some, so is being relayed at the same...

    ’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...

    The reality is that last year's pricing model was seen by many people as an annual pass. It may not have been, there may be all sorts of legal nuances about what it actually meant, but in terms of customer perception, customers saw it as an...

    I sort of get that point, though it still begs the wider question - why can’t you also have Gift Aid price on the core Picketing - Grosmont section? The equivalent of a “House and garden” or “garden only” price at a stately home. You have...

    You do have to wonder if something's gone wrong if a volunteer of 30 years feels they have nothing in common with a society with the nominal purpose of supporting said railway...

    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...

    But as you carry fewer and fewer people, you end up spreading your fixed costs onto a smaller and smaller number of shoulders. The reductio ad absurdum of your approach might be to find a single person willing to pay £8m for a single return...
