I think the membership is quite large - bonfire night at Horniman School was residents association members only, and it was very full, with very many of those present families with young children! I don't think the association committee can have any idea what the members think, I don't think they've made any attempt to find out. They would, I suppose, argue that this is a legal issue not one of democracy, and this makes it hard to challenge. However, the argument that it is a legal matter is pretty spurious given their choice to unearth and pursue an obscure and otherwise unenforced statute.
