How is that so? All you have to do is answer the questions put.
They were,

a) "It was the responsibility of the Treasurer of the AFFS to stop taking 
monies by Direct Debit, but that would have required that the AFFS be 
wound up, or the member expelled, in the case of Standing orders the bank 
could have been asked to return them, but the same two conditions on 
winding up and expulsion would still have applied. However that is a 
separate issue from the lack of notice to members that the AFFS has been 
wound up, unless of course it hasn't, and to do so would have needed an 
Extraordinary General Meeting, for which notice would have needed to be 
given to the members. I received no such notice, was one sent? Was an 
Extraordinary General Meeting winding up the AFFS held?"

b) "Please explain, to someone who appears to be one of the five remaining 
members, when the Meeting that wound up AFFS took place and why I and the 
other four members were not given notice of it? Communications to my 
address would have reached me up to the first of June 2008. My present 
will be supplied to the other four existing members and the bank holding 
the AFFS's bank account. I have received no notice of a meeting to wind up 
the AFFS, nor of my expulsion from it."

c) "Which bank, and which branch of it, is at present holding the monies of 
the AFFS? Or do I need to ask my bank which bank and branch they are 
sending my subscription to. What is the current balance held in the 
account/s of the AFFS?"

d) I also asked were you still a paid up member of the AFFS.

Now all of those could have been answered;

a) It, (the AFFS), has not been wound up, No and No.

b) That no such meeting took place.

c) The coop bank, and I am unable to tell you the balance.

d) Yes or No.

Why did that require you to travel 1200 miles? Why would you not provide 
the answers. What was it about those questions that made it "unnecessarily 
difficult"?
