Have other corporate charities decided to abandon the requirement in their Articles to hold an Annual Genertal Meeting? Where the directors and members are the same the need to choreograph different meetings of the same group can be a distracting chore with no obvious benefit to the charity (the position is clearly different if the teams are not identical). The provisions in the Companies Act 2006 allowing private companies to dispense with the need to hold an AGM came into force in October 2006. To achieve this happy state requires the Articles to be amended but references to the AGM infect quite a number of provisions in standard Articles. Is there a set of model Articles around which would suit a charity which no longer wants to have an AGM. I am struggling a bit as to how to provide for rotation reappontments of directors outside the framework of an AGM
