This is a test.

I go the extra mile.
Usually because I missed the turning I was supposed to take.
Howdy!
We need to AGM soon, before we AGM I'd like to discuss the articles and
a few changes I'd like to implement to make life easier.
Once the notification goes out we can't accept any more submissions for
articles as I understand it, so we need to sort it out to include in the
AGM announcement as we don't really have time for an EGM or something.
# Membership
I'd love membership to be easier - both joining and leaving.
Leaving needs more work I think:
Can we propose an update to Article 22, to include a 12 month 'timeout'.
It would make dismemberment much simpler if we could remove people after
12 months of no dues.
Membership application is easy enough at current to be honest and the
articles are a little vague so we can exploit that. We should focus on
collecting the important information from them only, I don't care about
your interests and your talents, or photo, but an email to ctte-private
of name, address, other things we must know about the members of the
company and a wee declaration is probably more appropriate.
I'd maybe go as far as to suggest we have a membership secretary who's
responsible for this?
# Finance
Having spoken to RBS, we need a board resolution for someone to get
access to the online banking, even if they're a signatory like me.
I suggest we make a board resolution at the end of each AGM as part of
process to nominate a treasuring director (and try to keep another person
on the system for continuity).
# Board meetings
Board meetings are a pain to organise, can we find a way to reduce the
14 clear days to 7 or something so we can not have to think so far
ahead?
# AGM
17th May?
