Where did I state that? I can remember suggesting that you do so as it has 
been you, a person who seems not to be a member, making all sorts of rash 
statements about the 'legal' position of a body in which you do not hold 
membership, and would seem to have no interest. If you have a real 
interest, and by that I mean you think you have a right to make a claim 
against the money held in its bank account then please state it so that I 
can take it under consideration when looking at this problem.

I did, start at my first post and read on, with more care than you seem to 
have spent in reading the constitution. I have not had much chance to do 
anything yet having to deal with a constant stream of criticism from those 
who are not members of the AFFS, although at some time they may have been, 
none of them, including me, seem to have had any concerns as to its status 
apparently between the AGM of 2005 and now! If you want me to do what I 
can to resolve the fate of the AFFS then please keep out of the way whilst 
I do what I can. I would like to know what it is that has prompted your 
interest at this time, the £1000.00 donation perhaps? if so then please 
state what your interest is, as I remember you telling the AGM of 2004 of 
your donation, if it was a donation then you surely have no further 
interest in it, unless of course you are seeking my assistance in 
recovering it, is that the case? If I am going to be subjected to a 
non-stop stream of cod 'legal' opinions, criticism, and in some cases 
petulant replies from some of the last committee, then I can easily afford 
to leave the battle to you to fight. However bear in mind that I'm still 
a 'paid up' member, and any half cocked attempt to grab back what may very 
well be untraceable money, may be seen by me as an attempt to deprive 
others who may also have paid membership fees into an association until 
their fees were not for some unexplained reason accepted any more, and who 
may have a stronger case for restitution!
