That would be superb. Alison could you possibly make
an official request
asap?
Seconded. This sounds like just the solution we need.
Once we've done that I hope there will be no delay
in starting to accept
memberships, and if by some unfortunate circumstance we still haven't had an
AGM at that point, the immediate calling of one.
Charity status takes a while, there are lots of checks to go through
before you get the rubber stamp. I see no need for a bank account in
order to hold an AGM, though - people can either pay their membership
fees in cash, or even better, arrange a system of deferring fees until
there is a bank account. The AGM needs to be held pretty soon anyway,
and I really don't like Alison's idea of holding a mini-AGM and
deferring everything to an EGM. AGM's are held annually for a reason,
they shouldn't be deferred.
What's the latest on the Companies House records inaccuracies? It's a
really serious matter, I'd really rather not see the chapter and,
potentially, the board getting fined...
