Hi Chris. Re the proposed tenner increase on Road Show expenses.(as per your whats app post 13/04 /26) All I'm reading is about previous out of date postings?(also Vals update to download) obviously something isn't working as I do not have any comments box to click. I have however seen other Replies so assume its a proposed increase to expenses of
£70 for which POSTINGI will vote YES. hope this helps.

I have reworked the policy particularly clarifying the rules for the show allowance plus a general update.
Please send comments if you have them.

Is this the "Policy" you are asking us to vote on Chris in your WhatsApp message of April 11?. If so I see that "help with set-up" has been struck out as qualifying for the £60 allowance. Is that the intention?

David Price has suggested an addition to the 2025 AGM agenda
Rather than have an open online discussion a better approach will be for the committee to discuss this option and should a change be approved then add it to the agenda for ratification.
I would like to propose a "pre-approved spend amount" for the purchase of locos. A few months ago, Nigel missed out on a large loco collection while he waited for committee approval of the spend. If we had a pre-approved spend amount (perhaps up to £10k) then he can act very quickly in future negotiations. Obviously, the approved amount can be reduced at any time by Eric, should the club's financial circumstances change.
Discussion points
I'm not sure the issue is the total amount of spend (if it really is a lot then a word with Eric seems to suffice) but rather the price being paid for individual items. If there is a guaranteed profit to be made then there isn't a problem. Nigel is doing a good job.
Vote Result
12 in favour, no objections, no abstentions
The result has been recorded in the Committee Decisions Log - 2023 63 – Roadshow Policy Amendments.
The updated Roadshow Policy has been posted in the Club Management, Policy Documents section of the main website.
