A "member-led" organisation - imagine that? In simple terms, an

I see this as a confusion of the legal situation. I understand the
aspiration, of course.
Board - a dozen, or so..........
Membership - several hundred
Community - several thousand
The board and the membership (since WMUK is company limited by
guarantee) have a legal footing. The wider community does not. Wouldn't
it be nice if all 5,000 joined the current membership?
