The AGM. No I was not there. Can I ask how many people were? I have not met a single person who was.
Elected democratically? Same question. By how many people? Discussed on britdisc? not in any details BEFORE THE EVENT. Do I read my emails? Yes My sums don't work? 1000 members. membership fees between 16 and 25 quid. You do the sums. If I am getting things so wrong, do you not think my statement of MORE VISIBILITY is valid??? -----Original Message----- From: Adam Batchelor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 27 March 2002 11:17 To: Steve Henderson Cc: britdisc Subject: Re: membership fees and other questions Ummm... AGM - yes that was a forum. Discussed on britdisc... Well it was advertised and a site dedicated to it. Were we elected democratically... yes Do you read your e-mails?
