While investigations are ongoing, review your whole meeting and new member strategy and see whether it fits in with your current contract. It may be for example that you might deter new members because of the reputation of the restaurant in the community, or that you decide to meet less frequently. Once the investigations of the management have been completed you can then make a considered decision. depending on whether a viable alternative exists or not.
