Objectives and activities
Charitable purposes
.
,
To advance education, heritage, and science, and provide recreational facilities and activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the public benefit, by: (a) Encouraging participation in, and enjoyment of, railway modelling and to display model railways to members of the public. (b) Developing and expanding the understanding, application and knowledge of the skills required to build and operate model railways. (c) Providing opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge of model building in a social, constructive, and enjoyable environment. (d) applying the use of historical research, photographic evidence, etc. to enhance the building of model railways.
Summary of the main activities in relation to these objects
The club operates a clubhouse containing numerous model railway layouts which are operational or under construction, along with workshop facilities and a library/meeting room which are used for the aforementioned purposes. Additionally, the club exhibits model railway layouts and related materials at model railway exhibitions and community events. The club runs its own community open days and exhibitions throughout the year. We do co-organised events with the local scout group and community council. The club undertakes the design and construction of various layouts for exhibiting at exhibitions of our own and other UK model railway clubs. A number of these other clubs are also OSCR registered charities.

| Summary of the main achievements of the charityduring thefinancial period |
_ | This yearthe club has continued to improve the facilities with minor improvements. The librarywasgivena fresh lick ofpaintandnew carpet tiles. The Foyer /EntranceAreawasupgradedwithsomemahogany cladding thatwas donated. Wehave3 layouts under construction, and 2 |
| more in planning fora build start date of late October early November. | ||
| Our commitment to public and community engagement has also yielded | ||
| positive results once more. The third annual Paisley Model Railway Show | ||
| was again met with extremely good feedback by all that attended, both | ||
| visitors and exhibitors. Attendancewas once again impacted by the | ||
| weather and that the council Christmas marketwas cancelled. We have | ||
| taken the decision tomove the date ofourannual exhibition in the hope | ||
| thatweather no longer will have a negative impact. | ||
| We have held numerous events within our clubroom, ranging from open | ||
| days to small exhibitions. Even hosting a plant sale event for the local | ||
| Scout group. | ||
| We continue to see an increase in membership, likely due to our | ||
| increased presence within the community and participation in events like | ||
| our Paisley exhibition. Now having rejoined the Association ofModel | ||
| Railway Societies in Scotland (AMRSS), wehave had positive interaction | ||
| with lots ofother clubsthroughout Scotland. Being able toattend Model | ||
| Rail Scotland, the large show in Glasgow, not only helps the club | ||
| financially but also to bring awareness, providing a valuable platform for | ||
| showcasing ourwork and attracting new members. | ||
| Financial review | ||
| Briefstatementof thecharity’s policy | =The | The club has in placea minimum bank balance of£2,000 to cover |
| on reserves | extraordinary costs orwind up costs. This is not specified in the | |
| constitution, but it is a long standing arrangement which predates the club |
||
| becoming a charity, and the sum concerned can be altered bythe trustees | ||
| ifdeemed necessary. In the previous financial year, theamountwas | ||
| reduced to £2,000 to cover high gas billswhich the clubwas hit with over | ||
| wintermonths. |

C1 Nature and purpose of funds (may be stated on The club's funds are used for the operation and upkeep of the club premises, with the largest routine costs analysis of funds worksheets) _ |being insurance, gas, and electricity. Funds are also used to purchase the tools and materials required in the construction and maintenance of the club's model railway layouts. As part of the club's charitable purpose, we organise an annual model railway exhibition open to the public. We have recently undertaken to increase the size of our exhibtiom by moving to a new venue which we hope will allow us to expand our teach even more. The club also exhibits at numerous other exhibitions organised by other clubs, usually on a reciprocal basis. The main costs when attending these shows are van hire / fuel costs, and when the venue is a significant distance, overnight accomodation. The club's largest asset is its clubhouse, last valued at £9000 many years ago and therefore a significant underestimate. Over the past year and going into the next couple we have and will be constructing new layouts to exhibit to the public throughout the country.

Nature and purpose of funds The minimum bank balance fund covers wind-up costs or in some cases extraordinary costs. Some of the grant from Renfrewshire Council to cover render repairs and to paint & seal the render is still unused. But allocated to finish sealing the exterior render of the building. This year we received a £9,500 grant from the National Lottery to run a fully interactive educational course on how to build a model raiwlay.
