....and if they hold it on a race day with no racing.... they will have a very small turnout as well!!! ....because everyone will be racing elsewhere.
If there is racing then all eyes will be on that and not on an important meeting.
The issue is that for every 10 racers only one or two are actually bothered with anything other than racing their car..... anything pertaining to organisational work passes over most racers heads at 40,000 feet.
Perhaps affiliation to the WRCA be conditional on the executive committee of every member club (ie chairman, secretary and treasurer) attending the AGM. There are many various federations and associations who hold this as fundamental to affiliation.
Those who come out of the woodwork to start moaning and complaining about something or other usually couldn't be bothered when the issues were originally being discussed but as soon as they realise that the decision directly impacts on their racing then they want something done!!!
It seems to me that the whole structure and organisation of the WRCA needs updating as does the way the affiliation structure works... but I doubt whether that will happen because one 'respected long time member' will object and the whole idea will get dumped and the bad old ways will continue.
