The advice I have from my acquaintance at the bank about the requirements for instructions is: "A letter signed by yourself and the Dr should be sufficient to amend the address and undertake any instructions. However, given the fact that you state that you have resigned from the organisation, I wouldn't recommend it. If you merely want to remove yourself as a signatory a letter to this effect will suffice." So I think they regard the last known signatories (sorry Alex I couldn't remember whether you were one or not and I was offline when I wrote the email!) as managing the account because they haven't accepted instructions to the contrary from the association or the signatories - we tried to handover, so we didn't simply remove ourselves. As to the "I wouldn't recommend it" - I wouldn't either! I'll wait for advice on the law about failing associations before contemplating any such thing!
