liadnanThe AGM of the General Council of the Bar takes place on Saturday. This is probably a matter of spectacular uninterest to most of you, and frankly the odds of my giving up a free Saturday morning to attend it are somewhat longer than the odds on a fourteen horse accumulator, despite both Professional Association with a direct effect on your life blah and chance to participate in influential semi-public body blah.
None of that stops me receiving much bumf, and the standard is slightly shoddy. Half the resolutions seem to be plain barking mad at first glance. One in particular... look. We all know the trick of using fonts a point smaller than usual, and cutting your line spacing by a decimal place, to fool people into thinking you're under a word limit or get under a "side of A4" limit. But taking your margins to less than a centimetre and cutting the spacing to single ain't gonna fool anyone. That's even before you get onto the implied accusations of corruption, and possibly high treason against the Lord Chancellor and the Chairman of the Bar... Shame really, because if you fight your way through all that you reach a resolution I'd be inclined to support...
