£20k seems a fair figure but it's not going to change at this meeting.
A groundswell of opinion might encourage the board to rethink the basic terms of this part of the process.
The fact that the club can stop the process without disclosing the details to the membership, suggests that the NDA is a 2 way thing. Whether the penalty works both ways is debatable.
It doesn't prevent the club from informing the membership that there had been an approach.
Secondly. £5k is not to set up a second meeting, it's to protect the club from the cost of due diligence. A £5k deposit to carry out due diligence is not an onerous figure and is a realistic amount for employing the accountants etc to fully investigate the proposals and the proposer.
Finally. If Bryn's contact was serious about "investing" and had been put off by the terms, it would not have been unreasonable for them to have gone public about their offer.

If Moss was the seller and the trust the buyer would the members think that £50k was a reasonable figure?..
