I have received financial papers for the year ending December 2025 from Railfuture, and AGM▸ (Annual General Meeting) details for 4th July are on Their website at https://www.railfuture.org.uk/conferences/

Quote
Hosted by Railfuture West Midlands branch
Reason for Birmingham: to celebrate the Camp Hill line opening and the two West Midlands tram extensions
Social media hashtag (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram) for this event: #rfconference
Business starts at 11:00 but doors open at 10:00 and refreshments will be served soon after
Venue: The Priory Rooms
Room: Main Meeting House
Quaker Meeting House, 40 Bull Street, Birmingham
Postcode: B4 6AF

The financial papers show subscription income of around £29,000 which suggests around 1400 members (+-20%).  It is good to see some use of campaigning / fighting funds including an incoming donation of £18,000 and expenditure of £31,000 in that.  General operating costs total around £25,000, and Railfuture has £320,000 "cash in hand and at bank" which they describe as a "substantial reserve".
