I was so worried things might get bogged down and nothing done until too late and so this was quick off the mark, welcome indeed, hurrah.

Many thanks George for your fair and lucid exposition of the situation. How on earth did it get to this? Even after your (and everyone else's) explanation I can scarcely believe it. That a group of so-called 'trustees' could act to unlawfully and so against the interests of the very organisation they held in trust is not just scandalous but (in my opinion) actionable. Except that action only benefits the lawyers. Hopefully, come September, we have the chance for a new start.
