At the moment I'm the volunteer, was the Ian Lynch, membership secretary, 
2003>, the same Ian Lynch, who has posted the above quoted message?  Then 
perhaps you might be able to let me know at what point it was that you 
stopped taking membership subscriptions, apart from those that were paid 
by Direct Debit or Standing order of course? I would be grateful for any 
information you may be able to supply. Especially if you have a list of 
those who were members at the time when subscriptions were being taken. 

As you seem to be one of those listed as a member of the the last Committee 
and membership secretary I will shortly be requesting from you and the 
following, Adam Bower,  Alex Hudson, Chris Croughton and  Mark Hymers,
an explanation of why they failed to give notice to members of the 
mandatory AGM and why they have not informed the members of their decision 
to cease the roles they were elected for.(Or the names and addresses of 
those who were elected or co-opted to replace them). If in the opinion of 
the majority of the above the AFFS had become, "on the ground of expense 
or otherwise... necessary or advisable to dissolve the Association" , why 
you did not propose to the Committee the remedy provided in rule 15 of the 
Constitution of the AFFS?

In the mean time you might like to inform me which particular aspects of 
the rules, you found made your office so difficult. As if I do now proceed 
to try to restart it, (the AFFS), I would appreciate it if you could make 
some positive suggestions.

Let me finish by pointing out that "Blame culture..." is not, 
"high on..." my "list of communication", as 'Blame' differs from 
responsibility, responsibility is however quite closely linked in this 
case with liability!
