Bump

AGM on tonight at 6pm in MR room at PRO

Not sure how we can actually have one: 

* when the financials haven't been published on the web-site or copies of the concise ones distubted to members - so how can people vote to accept them 

* members haven't been notified of the election results

 

But at least we know 18 people will receive Life Memberships 

[Rampstar]

the members will slowly lose control of our club after they voted to allow the committee  to put there mates on the board without an election or whatever that resolution was.

I understand your point Ramps but you are not quite right in your statement

The resolution you speak of was the one 2 years ago where it allowed for the board to appoint directors for 3 year terms. These are Board appointed directors

This then meant that instead of each year there being 3 director vacancies that the members could vote on there would only be 2.

At the same time the board also introduced a nominations committee which basically interviews people wanting to be or nominating to on the board or in the case of the board appointed directors interviews the candidates the board puts forward and recommends to the board who to appoint

I am on the record as saying I was against the changes regarding the electing/appointing of directors. But when it's all said and done if people were so concerned about it they should have turned up to the AGM at the time and voted against it. It is sad reflection on the membership base that on that night there were only 4 people who voted against but I still hear people complain that it shoudn't have been voted in and the constitution changed. As the saying goes you can't have your cake and eat it too.

Anyway.....

There is no election this year because for the 2 positions available there were only 2 nominations so there is no need for an election. You can only have an election if the number of nominees is greater than the vacancies

thanx for clarifying

No need to ask questions Stig when one has already got the answers 

And BTW there was 1 question last night  Asked of the Treasurer about what the Clubs plans are to safeguard the financial future of the Club now that we are out of debt. Interestingly it was an answer that a pollie would have been proud of, said alot without actually answering the question

Gee, some massive increase in sponsorship 3m and gaming 1.8m revenues. Notwithstanding the increase in footy operations . Putting together a robust bus model

Wonder what those numbers would like if you took out the FTF revenues?

Really think the Club needs to declare that as separate figure rather than clumping it in with one of the other groups eg sponsorship (that's where I assume they put it)

How robust the business model is dependant to a fair degree on the success of the FTF and how much it generates going forward

Your an accountant wp, How come cash flow from marketing is +5 and revenue from marketing is +3
