Once again I would advise consulting a solicitor if you want to find out 
the precise position. Again you would have to inform said solicitor that 
there was at least on person who had continued to pay to their membership 
fees, (which I think you'll find will complicate matters, (and therefore 
no doubt inflate the bill). It was either you or UKFSN who has a £1000.00 
donation in the AFFS bank account is it not? I think as it seems that by 
trying to find out how the AFFS got itself into this mess, and in trying 
to clear it up, in view of the work involved I might just as well leave it 
to your solicitor to sort out for us, I think you'll find that my 
subscriptions to a dormant association may well be refundable. As this 
seems to be making me the target for so much work, just in reading and 
replying to the posts let alone looking into the need for new rules and 
investigating how to verify who was or was not a previous member, that it 
would be preferable were to employ a solicitor, (who may of course need 
Counsels opinion, which is quite a bit more than a solicitors fees, at 
least that was the case in the previous case I was involved in involving 
an unincorporated association), As Mark Eberhard writes it may now be in 
the best interests of every one to take legal advice.
