Why they can't hold it on a weekend during daylight hours beats me.
While ever they hold the AGM at night I for one will NEVER go

Andrew Could next year's AGM be held in a place that's oodles better to get to by public transport? Getting there by train is impossible from Boston, and if I took the bus I'd have to take one first to either Spilsby or Lincoln, to get onto the Interconnect service that runs between Skegness and Lincoln, which has a stop at Horncastle! Further to this, getting around the county by bus after 18:00 is pretty damn near impossible. Taxis are out because they're prohibitively expensive. With the current liking for 'green birding', going to Horncastle would have to mean I'd get the most non-green option to get there - the car. And that's only if my dad has time free to take me! Lincoln would be a far better location! |

Yeah - have the AGM at say, 11:00 AM, then after it's ended, we could go out birdwatching as a group...... This is similar to an arrangement we have at the Pilgrim hospital Radio AGM. We have the meeting on a Sunday, start the meeting at 11:15-ish, then go to the Burton or Ball House for a hot lunch with as many as wants to sit down for a hot meal. Only I decline, so I can get my afternoon at Freiston in! |
