    Aha – but if Worrywort sends out the agenda and holds the meeting at the appointed time and there is no quorum within half an hour he just needs to turn up at the same place a week later and whoever is there is the quorum.

    The first thing he then needs to do is reduce the size of the EC to one and then pass all the motions he wants.

    Just wait till he starts raising levies and fixing the building up, though – then you’ll see attendances at meeting shoot up.

    This is what the Act says:

    12   Quorum

    (4)  If a quorum … is not present within the next half-hour after the relevant motion or business arises for consideration at the meeting, the meeting stands adjourned for at least 7 days.

    (5)  If a quorum… is not present within the next half-hour after the time fixed for the adjourned meeting, the persons present personally or by duly appointed proxy and entitled to vote constitute a quorum for considering that motion or business.
