At an open public meeting in May there was a good turnout, with Crawley Borough, Horsham District and Reigate & Banstead all represented. Everybody agreed that there should be a local branch of the UAF but as there are no local branches at all between London and Brighton & Hove those from outside Crawley and Horsham asked if it could be expanded to include other areas, to give them something to join, with a longer-term aim of splitting up into local branches as support and membership grows.

With this in mind a working group was delegated to draw up a proper constitution and organise an AGM where the constitution could be formally adopted and a UAF branch formed which could then start enrolling members.

A constitution was drawn up and an inaugural AGM held in Crawley on July 10th 2007.   The constitution was adopted, and officers were elected from the floor.
