Two weeks to the next general meeting, there is going to be some business to take care of before the AGM,
So, we do not have the BS the was the result of last year’s AGM, that has resulted on considerable disruption within the club.
I`m not on the club Facebook page and do not know the requirements to be accepted but people posting negative information, is not good for anyone.
I understand this is happening with persons pushing their own agenda.
My view is. if person don't want to support our club, they should go elsewhere.
Just as well our club as yet don’t have rules such as the HSV club does, they rightly frown on anyone bring their club in to disrepute.
We need to bring forward those discussions at the next general meeting
