Policy Discussions & Decisions

Back in January two new discussions were started.

• Increase the Roadshow Allowance Payment

• Amendments to the Roadshow Policy

Increase the Roadshow Allowance Payment

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proposed tenner increase on Road Show expenses.(as per your whats app post 13/04 /26) All I'm reading is about previous out of date postings?(also Vals update to download) obviously something isn't working as I do not have any comments box to click.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.

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.
