In reply to ukb shark:
I voted for the motion of no confidence at the area meeting to remind the CEO, the National Council Members (inc myself) and the members who attend the area meeting, and also read what is is happenning on on BMC NW area page.
That this is "your" organisation, you fund the majority of it with you fees, and you should have a say in how its run!!
It is going through a "small" crisis and we need to look at it carefully and be able to see what parts are not working, and be able to stand up, discuss these and be listened too.
Change happens, and this organisation has to move with it, be we should all be involved and consulted on where it is going, but we need people to lead on this give recommendations so we can be supportive or not.
This does not mean I will be supporting the motion at the AGM, I dont want to see the Exec team brought down, I just want free and open decisions about how we move on.
Finally, at the end of the AGM , when this motion is heavily defeated, we should be asking Bob and Doug to resign for their honorary posts that they have within the BMC, I especially cannot see how Doug could carry on as patron after this, and should fall on his rusty aplenstock.
and
If they are not prepared too it should be an AOB at the N/C meeting to have them removed.
