Of Captains & Kings and many Things.
« on: August 25, 2018, 03:29:37 PM »
Well after several months away, B and I are back in Oz.

And its great to be home.

It's even better now I have my Ipad back and can see all that is going on, esp in OUR Club.

I'm amazed to see a lot of interest from club members in the missuse of members private information.
And from others drumming up individuals to run in the forthcoming AGM  Elections.
I hope you get more interest than we could get last year.
As a matter of fact we even had one of last years committe men quit. Hope it was not over something I said.

Were starting to sound like the Federal Liberal Party. Heaven forbid.

I hope that statements made in the Email are true, a few calls I've recieved from members seem to refute several of the facts......

Saturday night and time to dine out, no doubt this subject will generate much discussion, and believe it or not, that is a good thing.

Intill tomorrow!......

I'm in the middle of doing some research, but I would like to make the following quiet clear to all members.

1. At the AGM each year ALL positions are declared vacant.
2. Fully paid members can run for each and every position.(but can hold only one*)
3. Members can nominate in advance by submitting duelly notarised nomination forms. (Best way, allowes members to know who is running.)
4. The "Returning Officer" takes over and runs the election, starting at Pres, VP, Sec, Tres, followed by remaining positions.
5. If no nominations are recieved, then people can nominate individuals from the meeting floor, these nominees are equal in status.
6. The Club is run by a full Committee.
7. The Committee should be equally balanced, but with a casting vote by the President.
8. The above ensures that collusion of the top four positions do not overide others on the Committee.


I would like to add here that Mr Jeff Wilson had made it clear quiet some time ago, that he would not recontest Pres in 2018.
Both myself and Belinda will be recontesting  Sec and Tres.(p.s we will not be taking any more holidays.)

Others on our current Committee will I'm sure recontest, however, I have not spoken to them, but I know their passion for the club will ensure their continued support.

I would add here that without the hard working committee supporting the top four, this club will grind to a halt.

Now with reference to my opening statement around the subject of misuse of e'mail data.

After a lot of feedback and some file searches, I have reluctantly identified the culprit.

Way back in April an email concerning CMC was sent advising members on that function.
The Sec was most likely thinking about hotels in the UK, and inadvertantly sent it out without the usual BCC.

Our appologies for this omission.
