​
Ordinary Business:
1. To approve the Minutes of the 2020 Annual General Meeting and to consider any matters arising therefrom.

Special Business:
5. That, in substitution for all existing authorities, the Directors of the Company are generally and unconditionally authorised pursuant to section 551 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "2006 Act") to exercise all powers of the Company to allot relevant securities provided that the authority hereby granted shall be limited to retaining the value of the authorised share capital of the Company at £14,000,000. This is for a period expiring (unless previously renewed or revoked by the Company in a general meeting) at the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the date of passing of this resolution, but so that the Company may before such expiry make an offer or agreement which would or might require relevant securities to be allotted after such expiry and the directors of the Company may allot relevant securities in pursuance of that offer or agreement notwithstanding that the authority conferred hereby has expired.

Shareholder email addresses
It is much more cost effective if we can send the annual accounts information (and also the annual shareholders' newsletter) to shareholders by email rather than by post. We would be grateful therefore, if you agree, to receive your email address in order to do this. This will also enable us to keep you up to date with current activities on the Railway.
​
Please note that your email address is confidential and will not be used for non-SVR activities. Simply click on 'Shareholder Mailing List Preferences' below and complete the form.

Changes of address
Would all shareholders please note that changes of address should be advised in writing direct to our registrars at the following address:
Hannah Brownhill, Neville Registrars, Neville House, Steelpark Road, Halesowen, B62 8HD
Tel. 0121 585 1131
Email hannah@nevilleregistrars.co.uk
​
After each mailing to shareholders we receive a number of returned envelopes marked ‘Gone Away’, which of course incurs postage costs and means that the shareholder may not receive the necessary communication at the appropriate time. It would therefore be most helpful if any changes were advised to Nevilles as soon as possible.
Neville's can also help with share transfers and matters of probate.
