I just noticed there is no link in the announcement…. The current governing document for the society requires that members wishing to attend the AGM register to do so and have their request approved. So it was necessary for us to send the link only to those who had correctly registered. I apologise to anyone who found this confusing or unhelpful.

MikeP Posted May 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 That really does need sorting out. You can’t have a situation where somebody dives a long way to attend an AGM only to be refused entry because they hadn’t registered beforehand…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeP Posted May 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yes I know as I attended it. My point is is it was a physical meeting and you drove to it then you might be more than a little annoyed to be refused entry owing to not having pre registered.

The AGM invite gave very clear instructions about the need to register and how to do so. I don't think the situation you're describing is very likely at all.

You are delving into the depths of the hypothetical. The world is only just coming out of the grips of a pandemic. Physical meets take months of planning and preparation. Physical meets will be advertised months ahead of the date. We will take on board your fears and make sure very clear instructions on how to attend are promulgated ahead of time. As you attended the AGM, and we thank you for your support, you will have noted there are many new members on the committee and a new trustee. Give us all a chance to take stock of what we have, what are membership needs and what are members want. We welcome any constructive advice and help you can offer and, indeed, we look forward to receiving such. We will advertise physical meetings and events with clear joining instructions. We will send out the newsletter to our paid up members. We will send timely reminders of membership renewals and how to pay those fees in order to continue enjoying the membership benefits of our Society. But, please, let us get stock of the tasks in front of us. Half the committee members were only voted in on Saturday and we need to learn our roles and responsibilities before we can perform at peak capacity. You will probably be aware from earlier in this thread I too complained about the Society. You will now also see that I have stepped up to help out. We are always looking for volunteers to help out. Are you interested in helping out? yours Aye FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
