   Not getting the annual report is a concern. Steamrail had big problems
with their accounts some years ago and were 3 or so years behind. When they
finally got them up-to-date the 3 years accounts were not posted to members,
but you could get copies by writing to the secretary. I wrote to the secretary
requesting copies of the accounts. I never recieved any response to this request.
Not very professional.

         Cheers,
