Hi George,
Sorry to disappoint but no big fall out. Both Dave and Sam are happy to support us but don't have the time to continue in the capacity they have been.
You should also bear in mind that the trustees were voted in (democratically) by the membership to represent them and to carry out the tasks required. This is exactly what we did and will continue to do.
Pete,
We have informed everyone at the earliest opportunity once the necessary arrangements were made as per the articles. Our priority was, and will continue to be to ensure the AWGB is run to the best of our advantage for the members by following the rules agreed by the membership.
Out of interest, have either of you ever attended one of the AWGB AGMs ? You don't have to go but perhaps it would give you a better insight into the democratic process.
