If the AGM didn’t occur lawfully in May 2024:
* Decisions made at the April meeting are invalid, including: - Election of the Chair - Approval of financial documents like the AGAR for 2023–24 - Committee decisions or delegations

This means the AGAR for 2023–24 might not have been lawfully approved before submission (if it was submitted at all).

===== The failure to properly hold and minute an AGM in May raises serious red flags, especially when: =====

====== You’ve seen no evidence it: ======
* Was approved by full council
* Was submitted to auditors
* Had a published public rights notice in Summer 2024

====== The change of RFO in Autumn 2024: ======
* May have left records incomplete or not transferred properly
* Could lead to lost accountability
* Prevents the current RFO from verifying 2023–24 finances with full confidence

====== Jane Timbrell signed the 2025 notice – but if she was not validly elected Chair in May 2024 (due to no AGM), then: ======
* Her authority to sign official documents may be in doubt
* This could be challenged as procedural illegality

===== A deliberate or careless attempt to disguise the April meeting as an AGM could signal: =====
* Attempts to avoid scrutiny
* A cover for missing or irregular spending
* An attempt to "backdate" legitimacy of decisions like financial approvals
