Although members are welcome to attend the Institute's Annual General Meeting, the business is usually very formal and is normally completed in less than 15 minutes. Any member wishing to ask a question at the meeting is requested to put it in writing to the General Secretary no later than two weeks before the meeting, so that any necessary research can be undertaken beforehand.
