A small request for the pending minutes of the AGM; during the meeting there was a count of hands of voting members, presumably to comply with the Articles of Association with regard to the legally required quorum. The final count was not read out, so I will be interested to read that specific number in the minutes, which I believe is needed to comply with legal requirements. With membership at 498, I think that means that a quorum should be a minimum 50 voting members, which could be challenging at future AGMs if the increase in membership is from stakeholders such as donors, who are proportionally far less likely to be interested in these sorts of internal meetings and discussions.
If my understanding is wrong, and that the charity can pass resolutions with fewer than 10% of the membership, such as with say 2%, I would be delighted to read the explanation of how that part of the governance of the charity works, and what the options would be if fewer than one tenth of members wanted to physically come to an AGM. A scenario which seems highly likely if membership continues its fantastic speedy growth. Fortunately the board benefits from a couple of resident experts on governance that can advise, and could probably summarise for the rest of us in plain English.
