He was certainly elected Chairman of the AGM, but I think that is the boundary. Based on practice I have seen over 15 years, the President chairs the Executive meetings.

This is an easy question Carl.
First step is to ask clubs how many members they are declaring for the year.
Step 2 is CV invoices the Club based on the number of members declared.
Step 3 Clubs pay the Affiliation Invoice.
Step 4 is usually follow-up for any delays in the process.

I am sure if he had his druthers then he would have another solution. But in this case, the buck stops with the Sandman until he can find another solution.

Agree on all this except the 'larger' comment. Actually, FCC is probably the second largest as a Club since their regeneration.
