PLANS by the British Antique Dealers’ Association to cut the size of its council to allow swifter decision making have met with a mixed response from some of its 350 dealer members.
A proposal to reduce the council from its current 19 seats to 12 is part of an overhaul of BADA’s articles of association, designed to further modernise the near-100-year-old trade body.
Other changes include greater use of technology to enable members to vote electronically and to help council members based outside London take part in meetings.
