Biermeister liked Meatman's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
I can accept the outcome of the vote even if id wished one other nominee to have been elected especially having spent at least 90 minutes on Saturday afternoon in that persons presence along with a few others listening to a lot of common sense...

Likewise, surely, there is never any reason for a trustee or other official to shout at (much less strike - as has occurred previously) a trust member?

Where exactly is a positive outcome, the meeting was an embarrassment for the trust, today not only have many members expressed their disappointment in the way the meeting was handled, but also the way in which certain trustee's acted and also...

Does that not tell you that either the trustees are not communicating properly with the members, or, that what they are communicating has been found to be untrue?

We could blame the Chairman and his mates on the board for harassing and hounding the only female off the board… That’s a lot of assumptions you’ve made to rule someone out. How do you know how much spare time someone has? How do you know that...

I'd be delighted to see some progress. What I don't understand with the CFL proposals include, but are not limited to: (i) How much will the CFL extension cost? Is this the best use of limited resources vs say reinstatement south of OSHI (which...

Biermeister liked RailWest's post in the thread Lynton and Barnstaple - Operations and Development.
Firstly the consultation was limited to a "pick 1 of 4" options, it was clearly not an attempt to garner all the possible ideas from the membership and then look for the more realistic choices. Secondly, Option 'C' in the opinion of many was...

As I see it yet another low point for the trust concerning its attitude towards members at an AGM, Tony Nicholson standing up and shouting at a member, telling him to 'sit down and shut up' was so very impressive as was Peter Miles comment that...

The hostage situation is at an extremely sensitive stage. Special forces are in place to secure the hall. (sorry - I have this unfortunate knack of seeing the funny side of everything);)

It's moot at this point, @Lineisclear, but it's pretty hard to argue that the fairness obligation extends to creating two sets of ordinary members - which is precisely what has happened. But you do you.....

>>>The argument would probably be that in the directors’ judgement such a motion was not in the best interests of the company.... Or, to put it another way, it was OK to allow motions to remove two directors, but not to allow a motion to remove...

Ben Jenden replied to the thread GWSR Cotswold Festival of Steam 25th-27th May 2024.
I personally have little confidence of it appearing. I get that final tweaks are required but the radio silence doesn't help especially given its been 4 months since its first cancelled gala event. I hope to be proved wrong but with a weeks worth...

And I suggest that you default to assume that because the law says X that a board can consider no other option. In the case of the motions, the board could say “we can put what we like on the agenda and stuff what the members think because the...
