    As you may know, the shareholders of Exmoor Associates, the little company that is buying back the trackbed pieces of the Lynton & Barnstaple railway below Wistlandpound reservoir, recently voted to transfer the company's assets to the Barnstaple & Yeo Valley Railway Trust, a charity.

    At the most recent regular meeting on May 16th at Chelfham, it was suggested we have a regular blog of our activities. We hope this will increase interest and help, both physical and financial. Contributions can now be gift aided at last.

    So here it is, the first B&YVRT blogpost:

    Hope you like it !

    Just to be clear, does this mean Exmoor Associates will merge fully into the Trust and cease to be a separate organisation? I’d like to hope so, since this would reduce unnecessary complexity.

    EA will no longer be active, but the company will continue to exist legally for a while, as things are wound down. The B&YVRT will now do the land purchases, and more that EA could not do. We had a shareholder's meeting, and the vote to transfer the assets was practically unanimous.
    EA was the vehicle at the start many years ago, but over time it became apparent that a private Ltd company was not the ideal vehicle, so the Trust has now taken over.
