Evening Nigel I’m a fairly new member of the MYA but I do appreciate the efforts put in by the organisers of the AGM and obviously the jumble / trade stands. My thoughts in answer to your questions. Yes I believe the Jumble / Trade stands should go ahead the chance to take advantage of good offers is welcome. For me the prospect of an 8 hour plus round trip fuel and if necessary an overnight stop on the run up to Christmas was a contributing factor on deciding not to attend. That brings the answer to the rest of your questions. Perhaps rotating the AGM around the districts would bring different people into the attendance records and also giving MYA members a chance that might be appreciated for said bargains. Changing the timing even just a month back to the end of October would also then allow regional and club AGMs to arrange / adapt to any changes from the MYA before year end and add that extra cushion before the expenses of the Christmas season begin.
