Once again I would advise consulting a solicitor if you want to find out the precise position. Again you would have to inform said solicitor that there was at least on person who had continued to pay to their membership fees, (which I think you'll find will complicate matters, (and therefore no doubt inflate the bill). It was either you or UKFSN who has a £1000.00 donation in the AFFS bank account is it not? I think as it seems that by trying to find out how the AFFS got itself into this mess, and in trying to clear it up, in view of the work involved I might just as well leave it to your solicitor to sort out for us, I think you'll find that my subscriptions to a dormant association may well be refundable. As this seems to be making me the target for so much work, just in reading and replying to the posts let alone looking into the need for new rules and investigating how to verify who was or was not a previous member, that it would be preferable were to employ a solicitor, (who may of course need Counsels opinion, which is quite a bit more than a solicitors fees, at least that was the case in the previous case I was involved in involving an unincorporated association), As Mark Eberhard writes it may now be in the best interests of every one to take legal advice. -- John Seago GNU/Linux Registered User No. #219566 http://counter.li.org/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
