No context highlights so far:

"We don't know what we didn't hear!"
"I'm not a cat!"

So the normal level of chaos then for an ECF meeting.

I am beginning to regret not, at least, partially attending.

The last Zoom based ECF AGM meeting I attended left an emotional scar as it was so badly managed. Hopefully they have got better since.

I assume that the 2025 meeting was recorded for due diligence but I seem to recall that the board did not want recordings made available as they were likely to bring the ECF into disrepute for reasons unspecified.

Echoes of a recent Reform UK Ltd Zoom meeting...

It sounds secretive. Don't we usually get more commentary on the meeting - from John Reyes and others?

Chris Lewis has produced a detailed and very helpful summary of the AGM:

Many thanks, Chris!
