Dear John: Is there a facility to call an extra general meeting about an item which appears to be so important to so many?

For most organisation an EGM requires a mail shot to all members. Say it costs 50p per member to do this, that's £5,000 down the tube out of rather scarce cash. I don't think this will happen.

Do the byelaws preclude emails (to those who have the facility)? April Ashton.
