2016 General Committee Elections.
« on: January 28, 2016, 09:31:53 AM »
The process is now underway, with nominations to be submitted by 31st January. Voting papers will be then sent out to all members, who can re-elect current committee members, or vote for new faces. I should add that I have put myself forward in the process and would appreciate the votes and support of everyone on this forum.

Members as of when get a vote?

I was a member last season but have not renewed yet so am I entitled to vote?

Membership expires end December and renewal is due 1st January, so would assume anyone who hasn't yet renewed is no longer a member so won't get a vote.

Renewed a couple of weeks ago, or at least the direct debit was taken, but havemn't got a voting paper yet. Presumably they'll be sent out after 31st Jan.

I think we usually getting voting papers with the Spring members mailing.

The main thing is to only vote for those you want - don't necessarily use all your votes.

So it looks like that those of us who do not renew until closer to the start of the season miss out on the chance to vote.  Is this a clever move by the club?

How many votes are 'lost' to people who hold on to their money until close to the start of the season?

I assume voting papers won't go out until all the nominations are in. Deadline for that is Sunday.

Would have had my vote as well..........but like I say I think that it is a cute move to reduce the number of people allowed a vote.

I suspect it could be a way of the club trying to encourage people to pay by direct debit.

Thank you for all the support. You can now renew your membership online; I did it for my son and my father and it was all fairly painless.

Not to the membership question.

I knew the answer to the question I asked though.  ;D
