Hi Andy
The principle reason for moving the AGM was that clubs, leagues etc.. don’t usually meet during the time the agenda, motions etc are published prior to the AGM. It was felt that moving the AGM back might encourage more participation and attendance by these bodies, as well as members, as there would now be an opportunity or member bodies to discuss proposals etc prior to the AGM during the chess season.
if memory serves it was also felt that it was too soon after the end of the financial year for the AGM , but you know what my memory is like, there were most probably other reasons which i cant remember
