If you read the original 'invite' as posted at the top of page 3 it's clear that they were only asking those people against the proposals to attend, so this is no surprise.
From the outside it looks like group of NIMBY's having a moan who would welcome the scheme if it was elsewhere. This sort of opposition will exist wherever the hub were to be based.
Did the meeting propose any alternative sites where such opposition would not be a hurdle?
