But you need to inform more people than just the members, don't you,
No. See the Articles of Association.
since you haven't been accepting membership applications previously?
We have *never* not accepted applications at any time since the founding of the organisation. All applications have been considered (though, I will note, there have been remarkably few)
What do you mean by "if required status"? Notice of an AGM is always required...
Now you are just being obtuse. "If required" in that "if we find the only possible date is within the required timescale are you (ie the member) ok with that". Of course notice is required, ffs!
Fair enough. Perhaps it would help if you answered my question about what details are required, then.
Asked and answered.
Also, I object to the word "possible", since I interpret it as meaning you may not nominate certain candidates - if you do not nominate any candidate that requests it then you will be taking advantage of your incompetence regarding membership applications.
I, in turn, strongly object to your use of "incompetence" when there has been none. The WMUK website had a notice asking for parties interested in the position of Director of Membership to contact the Board, but no suitable candidates were forthcoming (which, I note, included those recent applicants for membership). "Possible" in that at present the applications received have not be formally accepted by the Board so those individuals cannot currently be anything but 'possible'. As regards nominations, it isn't for me or the Board to make nominations (again see Articles of Association) however the Board *may* be prepared to recommend suitable candidates *if* it believes that would be in the best interests of the Company and its objects, however this has not yet been discussed by the Board and I am only making my own suggestion here.

Hopefully, I am misinterpreting you
and you will clarify what you meant by that.
