Well done, Snowy. It can be a bit nerve wracking chairing meetings!
Now you know about circulating previous minutes and an agenda before the meeting, I expect this will happen next year. I found emailing them where possible about a week before hand, along with any financial information, and asking for any "matters arising" to be passed to you before the meeting iteself saves a bit of that "unknown".
We always had a committee meeting about a month prior to the AGM, firstly to ensure the agenda had everyhting on it anyone wanted, and econdly to make sure anything we had said would be odne the previous year aactually had been, or if not, we knew why not
And a glass of water each is always helpful.
I assume your secretary takes the minutes, not you?
