There are two types of members; members of the company, who hold the legal liability, and the wider members of organization. Hence an AGM should invite the first class, but does not have to invite the second class, in UK law.

Thank you for this clarification, which I am actually aware of, but it's good to make the distinction since I haven't made it in my email.

However, it is very clear (as you suggest) that the Chapter should invite everybody who wants to take part to the forthcoming AGM.

Yes, my request is that the "members of the company" make sure that their next AGM actually invites everyone who is interested in the future of Wikimedia UK, and also make sure that these people get a say in how this goes further, whether "legally" (by maybe accepting on the spot membership fees if that is possible), or through "common sense" (by taking into account the participant's suggestions).

Best,
