Here is the link to vote.

Select the Chairman as your proxy and then vote against every resolution.

Make those responsible for the shambles of the booking system, deposits and destruction of the ‘Club’ and turning members into customers know they need to go.

Much as I dislike the recent moves, I think how we vote is up to the individual and perhaps it’s not right to attempt to influence others by telling them how to vote. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In my view it is wrong to take out the debacle of the introduction of the new booking system on those standing for office. They are all volunteers and have very little to do with the day to day operations of the Club. All they do is set policy, largely from feedback from members and in this case would have simply made the decision that the changes should be introduced. The nuts and bolts of how it was done would have been the responsiblity of the the paid staff, i.e. the DG and his team.

Despite the fact that we received an email about the AGM and voting procedures on the 29th of September, to date we haven't received the voting email.  I'll wait until the 18th, when reminders should be sent out, to see if we receive that email.

I did try the link posted above on this page; didn't work.  Apparently there is a Unique Voter Number?  Although the details to be filled in asked for membership number, title, first name, last name.  nowhere could I see where it asked for a voter number, tried twice.

Ho hum.

That's  rather implying that the "volunteer" committee members aren't  capable  and have no real involvement in decision making. Sometimes things need to change if nothing is being challenged.

Agreed. These are the policy makers.

Root & branch change is needed. Everyone in office(decision makers & managers) at the inception of the new system need replacing. They have displayed total ignorance & dereliction disrespect & discourtesy they have no part to play when dealing with a loyal & faithful membership who have & are still struggling to attain what they have pre paid for.

It's difficult to comment further because I/we do not know the degree of interaction between the DG and the Exec once a policy decision has been made. Was the new system presented to the Exec, one would hope so? Who signed it off, ect ect? From what we are made aware of the Exec and its committees seem to operate at arms length from the day to day running of the Club.

I had an email on 7th October, with a "VOTE NOW" button (linked to my memebership).
