If you start a new independent campaign, you're at the cutting edge all the time. But as it grows, you have more management to do - and indeed you need to start making choices between managing and being the technical lead.
We are very fortunate at TransWilts to have a really good team doing the management and admin and each the various background elements - the body/bodies at the centre where all the spider's legs come together are critically important. I have only to look around to realise how fortunate we are to have Paul, and Peter, and Bob, and myself all undertaking leadership and co-ordination elements that other CRPs and user groups find so difficult to fill
It may be about trains - but so much of the job becomes managing and inspiring the people who promote the trains, not necessarily spending all your time directly working with an promoting the trains. Picture - Mark Hopwood, MD of GWR giving an update at the 2017 Community Rail Conference.
