Thanks for the explanation, someone else provided the simple two-year explanation off-list, which makes the elections make more sense. > > Interestingly, I notice the number of foundation members is dropping > > over previous years, 2009 numbers were over 250, where 2010 numbers were > > only 130.

I found the numbers in the minutes, but from a quick look through now I cant remember exactly which ones. Unfortunately a lot of them dont have membership reports, and those that do often dont state the number of members. Im not sure what the association laws are like in the UK, but from my experience of minuting meetings (and openness of documents and reports) under Australian law, these wouldnt come close to muster. Im happy enough to be corrected if youre actually able to find minutes somewhere that do have the relevant numbers from points in time.
