Re: ALL MEMBERS ! Please fill out those proxy forms..!!

I also have a question about votes and their counting.

What is to prevent someone voting by proxy and raising a hand at the AGM? Not that I am suggesting anyone would do this but what are the mechanisms behind counting and ensuring that only members are in the room?

Re: ALL MEMBERS ! Please fill out those proxy forms..!!

If Chris or others perceive a division within the Association then perhaps that's a topic for discussion when this lunacy is over, with the aim of either dispelling that perception or removing the division if it exists. I can only say that I have met some absolutely fantastic people on Strut evening...

Re: ALL MEMBERS ! Please fill out those proxy forms..!!

It is scandalous that the financial resources funded by us members is squandered away......our Chairman has had to spend a large part of the last two years , fending off bullying threats from external sources.......I know for a fact that Steve Slater has had to throw hundreds of man-hours away in d...

To put it simply P1 and solo are not the same thing, everyone has fewer solo hours than they do P1.

In the context of awards and recognition of achievements solo means solo in its purest sense, we all know that.

Re: ALL MEMBERS ! Please fill out those proxy forms..!!

Unfortunately a biass is inbuilt to 2018 motion: the ballot set out for the AGM is certainly not neutral. Apart from the relatively few number of members who read our forum, all others voting from our ~8,000 could likely simply follow our Chairman's recommendation to reverse the 2016 decision and r...

What a pity we're time barred from to proposing a vote of confidence in our Chairman and the Awards Committee.

Re: ALL MEMBERS ! Please fill out those proxy forms..!!

Hmmmm, I have to say that I am confused by this issue and do not understand why it has assumed the proportions it has. <snip> Can someone explain this to me? Steve There is a wealth of information out there that explains why this has gone the way it has. If there were a single, simple source I woul...

Plans for winter?

I intend to keep busy on non-flying days by tweaking and primping my newly-Permitted (imported) Jodel. Those little jobs that make the cockpit a nicer place to be such as adding some storage pockets either side, touching up paint trim, give the Perspex a bit of a buff for those low sun days.. Glue s...

There was uproar on the floor when the result was announced, shouts of Disgraceful! and a large number of members got up and walked out. Derek Lamb Derek : Thank you for taking the time to post. A missive of that magnitude must have taken a substantial slice out of your Sunday evening . I am sure t...
