Hi George ans inaugeral meeting is simply the first meet nothing else, its just a posh way of saying it and yes a secretary is handy to have in a group, if for nothing else but to arrange meetings, chairman are not usually neccessary as they only really organise order at the meetings, best trying to keep things as informal as possible, although an events organiser come secretary can be useful if you wish to put a few events together and a president can be useful as a figurehead, it must however be someone very experienced and respected, for my own group our first president was the late Richard Tomlinson, a known angler in specialist circles, the only other president we ever had was Eric Hodson. You dont have to have any officials though providing members all pull together but you usually need some type of organiser though.
