A DISCUSSION Possible motion for CTC/CUK General Meeting 2021 THE 15 MINUTE CITY To increase the clarity of a previous posting on this subject please note the following At the CTC AGM 2020 the motion below was passed.

I'm not really the best person to answer that, so I'll refer you to a quote from a Trustee who frequents this Parish. As for the physical AGM: Not a requirement of charity law.

See artical 11

You do not get it. One eligible member, one vote. The votes have been cast and tallied. All motions at the 2020 AGM were carried by a vote of the members. Do you get it? Would you like less than 5 % of UK voters to decide the results of an election that could a government in power for say 20 years?
