how does an exec meeting work?

Our exec seems to be stricter than a lot of those I've read about here.

Couple of questions:
1) I'm told I'm a defacto member of exec, but I'm not allowed to attend the
meetings, is this right?

2) when should minutes be produced, no-one is willing to give me a copy of
any of the past meetings.

3) How do you operate regarding getting money from group?

we asked for a ball park figure of how much was available for tent
replacement, instead we've been told to find out what we like and they will
decide whether or not suitable and if to get them! Makes a change from last
time when they told us that they had been looking on our behalf but hadn't
found any suitable. Not one of them has had to be involved in active camping
since they were in shorts half a centery ago!
