AGM thoughts
I've posted these separately and I am trying to be positive about this but I feel constructive criticism is always good. This may sound like a ramble so I apologize for that
1. Several people got upset at the AGM for the wrong reasons. I feel there was an "us and them mentality" caused by people who had preconceptions of what they thought was going on and what was going to happen. Now the AGM is approx. 75% over can we all take a step back and reflect
2. Mistakes were made at the AGM, we all know that, so what! let move on
3. With hindsight, not enough time was given to the motions, never mind the proposed time which would have been given to AOCB
4. I would like to know from Hamish if he has finished his explanation on why Robert's motions were rejected. Personally I thought Hamish should have posted his reasons on the Internet although I understand his reasons why.
5. There was a lot of confusion at times, for example the moving about of motions ( although I again understand why and maybe this should have been addressed earlier when the agenda was composed ) There was also confusion when members tried to address the floor at the seemingly wrong time (e.g when Chris tried to address Dick ) Was Dick correct to repeatedly tell Chris to shut up in that manner (my opinion is the president should have addressed the interruption by pointing out Chris was out of order (if he was)
6. We have new directors, existing directors and a re-elected director by local vote, all brilliant. Lets see how we are moving forward in the next few months. I bet right now the youngsters will show us oldies what maturity is all about and lets give them all the help and support they need. I know I will
7. We still have to finish of the AGM under current rules
