AGM Update.
An update to the last post:
The Project have publicly released the minutes of their recent AGM meeting and for those of you who haven’t seen them, I have repeated them below. In a meeting that lasted “20” minutes and with “no other business.” you won’t be surprised to see that the Project decided to omit the questions from the floor at the meeting. One can only ponder why that was?
while I’m making this post, I want to mention the two gentlemen that contacted me for information about the build and its ongoing progress. I have of course replied to you both and thank you for contacting me, especially the gentleman from the east coast of the US. It seems to be a damning verdict on the Project, that both these people contacted me saying “there was no information available anywhere about the build apart from your blog.”
