I did the same, although one statement concerning the Annual Report is
a worry.  I support Steamrail by being a member, but hardly ever ride
and it is years since I even took a photo, so I don't attend the AGMs.
But if it true that the Annual Report is only provided at the meeting,
then that is a worry - and whilst I have no idea of the constitution
or rules of Steamrail, no other body of which I am member can get away
without providing the Annual Report to the members two weeks prior to
the AGM
