AM89 0 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Will be interesting to see how the elections go. Some talented candidates in there. Hopefully Club1872 will have a strong, independent board and can begin trying to move the organisation forward again. Huge task is simply getting the membership numbers going upwards. When things are going well at the club, it's quite a hard sell. Hopefully one of the first things the board can clarify is just how donations will be used, ie what % is going to shares, what % is going to projects etc. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plgsarmy 111 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 So there may have been members of the working party putting themselves forward for election but they might only have been in one wp meeting or they might have been in them all , it's like getting blood out of a stone getting info on this Bruce, why don't you just ask me? All groups have been fairly consistent in terms of who went to the meetings. Iain Paton from the RST went to one meeting in someone's place. The only group who had a number of people attend was RF - attendees at various times have been James Blair, Ricki, Richard Scott, Peter Ewart, Greg Marshall, Donahoe and Johnston. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine this wasn't aimed at you , you have always been upfront with anything I have asked , others however have not been so forthcoming and I wrote the above after a twitter fest which was just depressing the life out of me yesterday .why others can't just adopt your approach is beyond me 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEARGER 1,830 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Have read all the candidates statements and asked around about those I did not know. Decide to vote for J.Percival, A.Wilson, L.Fawkes, S. Sinclair, C.Houston, W. Cowie & J.Blair. Had a doubt about Blair due to independence from club worry, but he has said he will only be serve for first year. His experience will be useful in first year getting Club1872 up and running hopefully. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I won't be voting for J Blair , it's the first year that will decide its future and he knows it , to be honest I won't be voting for any of your choices Bearger , it's like the FF xfactor list that's getting promoted everywhere. But then again it's all about opinions and what your definition of independence is against positioning people who you know will do as they are told .

That is out of over 2,500 e-mails we have responded to. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Between 1st and 21st Sep there will be 3 public meetings / hustings. Each candidate must attend at least 1 of these meetings to make themselves available to answer questions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of us unable to attend these, will there be any minutes taken so we can read the questions and answers?
