This is what I dont understand about committee controlled organisations. Always, everytime something comes up, you always get the "we cant just do anything". Its stupid. You're not changing the way things are enacted, you are just making it easier for other people to have their say if their lives mean they cant get to the AGM. Does this really need a motion? I seriously doubt anyone with the best interests of the sport at heart would object to the rest of the members being able to have a say without being forced to travel 300 miles like Mr Mowen208fly did.
I honestly have no idea who half of the people you're talking about Mr Mowen208fly, nor honestly do I have a clue who you are, but its good that you're willing to take the views of your "constituents" to the AGM, the rest of us "Zulu warriors" (epic film) don't have anyone to do that for us. We would all have to drive there, at our own cost much the same as you did. I don't have the time to spend a day away from my 9 month pregnant wife, or the 300 kids I teach 5 days a week. I barely have the time to race.
Terry, again, apologies have no clue who you are either, but I'm sure you're real important to be talking down to us all in the way you are.
Putting things online allows people to not have to go to the AGM to have a voice. It allows the masses to have a voice without spending time away from wives, husbands, kids etc. It allows people to have a voice without spending ludicrous amounts of cash on a meeting, food and drink. Its a logical step rather than the laws be decided by 20 blokes at a meeting the vast majority of members cannot afford the time or money to attend.
Does this really, and I do mean really need to go to a vote or can common sense prevail in a committee for once in the history of the world?
Oh, Mark, its called humour, look it up in a dictionary, I was trying to lighten the mood a little and figured you had a sense of humour...
