    If I was in a building where the SM set the agenda and budget without consulting the committee, I would have them removed at the first opportunity.

    In reality it happens. 

    It’s pretty much what all of my SMs have done in NSW, ACT and VIC since 1979.  I don’t necessarily agree with it but IME it’s what they do. A routine, generic type of agenda.   But as I also mentioned, my current SMs will change the AGM agenda if you are quick to request it.

    The main point I wanted to make is that good committees can make a huge difference (as the OP seems to have noted).   And many or most matters need not wait until a GM.

    I wonder what the OP’s matters actually were?  And if they even needed a GM authority?  Fair enough if they did.
