Structure Governance and Management

Constitution

The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (a SCIO). It was registered in its current legal form on 28/May/2024. The assets of Clyde Model Railway Club were transferred to the SCIO on that date. It has a single tier structure and as such the trustees are the members of the charity.

Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are appointed by members at the AGM of Clyde Model Railway Club which is held on the third Wednesday in January each year. There shall be three trustees.

Objectives and Activities

Charitable Purpose

To provide a welcoming and inclusive environment to promote the hobby of railway modelling.

Activities

The Charity operates and maintains club rooms as a venue for the construction and operation of model railway layouts.

Formal meetings are held on Wednesdays but club members have access to facilities 24/7.

Achievements and Performance

2025 was again dominated by issues surrounding premises.

By year end we had still not agreed a lease with our current landlord, ScotRail. There were, however, signs that a resolution of the outstanding issues was close and a formal lease should be obtained early in 2026.

Negotiations were also entered into with South Lanarkshire Council (SLC) regarding a Community Asset Transfer arrangement.

SLC offered a property at a very attractive rent.

A meeting will need to take place with local authority to clarify the following items before we can proceed:

Utilities supply and standing charges.
Rates
Building Insurance
Service charges
Level of Public Liability Insurance

On a positive note the club made a temporary arrangement with the Lanark Lanimer Committee;(Charity Number: SC046546) to sub let a portion of the “Lanimers Shed” This enabled erection of our largest layout Hallside in order to carry out upgrades and repairs in advance of the SEC show in late March 2026.

We would like to record our gratitude to the Committee for their support of a fellow local charity.

The club was able to attend the 2025 SEC show because a member made his personal layout available.

Mallecombe worked flawlessly throughout and attracted the attention of Peco the publishers of the Continental Modeller magazine.

The layout was photographed and an accompanying description prepared by its owner Malcolm Pickering. The resulting article appeared in the February 2026 issue of the magazine.

Funding of club activities comes from:

Membership Fees
Attendance at model railway exhibitions

Following formation as a charity it was necessary to update the club’s bank details. Our provider (Santander) proved so difficult to deal with that we terminated our business with them and raised an official complaint regarding their service.

Two fresh accounts were opened with the Co-operative Bank

A current account and a savings account.

To facilitate the switch and retain control of funds throughout the process the trustees decided to move all monies from Santander and deposit them in the treasurers account, All members were kept fully informed throughout and received email screen shots of all transactions to ensure transparency.

Reserves Policy

We have adopted an informal reserves policy of maintaining an amount that is approximately twice the anticipated annual running costs for the club.

Future Plans

We continue to seek an agreement with Scotrail to allow resumption of full club activities in our current location.

We are also pursuing alternative accommodation in case of continued intransigence on our landlord’s part.

We will attend The ModelRail Scotland event at the Glasgow SEC in March with Hallside.

Further exhibition attendance will be dependent on having access to suitable accommodation.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner	The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
	consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
	does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section
	44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement	My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
	charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
	consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks
	explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
	do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do
	not express an audit opinion on the viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s	In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that
statement	disclosed on the attached page*]
	1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
	requirements:
	• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and
	Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and
	• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with
	Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
	have not been met, or
	2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
	understanding of the accounts to be reached.
