Apparently so. I have received emails about the meeting with an agenda. It is by Zoom but no link to the meeting has been circulated. There is no publicity for it on the PDCMG.ORG website where the most recent 'news' items refer to 2021.

It is disappointing that meetings are kept more or less secret. I note that local organisations seeking to join are required by the PDCMG constitution to give written notice two weeks before a general meeting, this is a bit difficult if meetings are kept secret.

It was not so much an announcement, but a single sentence at the end of an article on fixed aids... "A provisional date for the next meeting is 19 June.". No-one else I talked to knew about the meeting.

The date is not provisional. Attached is the agenda. It is definitely happening.
With 30 hours left to go, there is still no publicly available Zoom meeting link.
I can't help but get the feeling the PDCMG want to minimise the attendance at this meeting, given item 3(a) particularly.

With less than 10 hours to go to the meeting, this has just come in from Sue Mabbett, PDCMG secretary, with typos corrected:
"As per my e-mail of 7th June, our next General Meeting is tonight at 7.30pm via Zoom. A member of our group with a Zoom account has offered to set up a Zoom meeting, however I am still waiting for this link so I will send later today. The freebie option only gives us 40 minutes meeting time so I am making [use] of an offer [from] someone with Zoom account."

The BCA has a Zoom account which it can use for things that it deems to be "BCA business". If any caving organisation would find this useful then feel free to get in touch with it@british-caving.org.uk and we might be able to assist.

It was very helpful of Stuart to post the link, but I decided a better use of my time was to complete the rewrite of some notes on the Blaenavon Railroad.
I look forward to seeing Stuart's summary of events, it will be a lot quicker than waiting a year for draft minutes to appear from the PDCMG.
