I join Tim in apologizing.

I think this is a good idea. Maybe we can put it forward the AGM?

Fully agreed: I'm also not against, but my experience in other bodies
tells me that the larger the group the more difficult meetings and
decisions become. We have always had a verry open policy, so anybody can
join our meetings when interested, so I would not be too worried about
being a too small, closed circle.
All the best.
