UKH

Because it's easy to let this stuff slip, and because I am the kind of person who was Book Monitor at primary school: I thought I'd post a reminder that all proxy voting forms have to be received by the BMC by 11am on the 20th of April.

Therefore, if you can't attend the AGM in person but would like to have a say, you need to get your forms posted (or scanned and e-mailed):

If you're attending the AGM, have already posted your proxy vote, or just don't care, please feel free to ignore this post.

VERY important - have a bump. (I've got mine in!)

In reply to slab_happy:

I'm the sort of person who took the piss out of book moinitors at school but well done for starting this thread! mine went in on Thursday.

In reply to slab_happy:

emailed mine off earlier; didn't realise that was an option until I saw this post

In reply to slab_happy:

Anybody else actually going to the AGM ?

In reply to slab_happy:

Have another bump, too important to ignore.

In reply to Chris the Tall:

I will be.

In reply to slab_happy:

It made the Independent today....

In reply to Chris the Tall:


I'll be there.

In reply to Kipper:


Slow news day? No, hang on...

In reply to slab_happy:
Thanks for the heads up.
I'm not the kind of person who normally bothers voting on this kind of thing and only read this thread because I had no idea what a MONC was . I'm assuming there has been a "few" threads about this that I have subconsciously ignored , could somebody point me at the most current so I can express my incredulity ( is that a word ?) . Actually I'll do it here , apologies to the OP.
They are volunteers ffs . They give lots of time for nothing and do their best. Sometimes they get it wrong . But what do I say my kids, or myself for that matter , when they ( I) make a mistake ? Own up , learn from it , move on. I think that's what already happened ? In my humble opinion this "MONC" a massive waste of time and resources that will damage the BMC whatever the result . I will bother to vote to show them my support .

Moi.

"Incredulity" is definitely a word, and very applicable here, I think ...

The most current threads would be these two, I think:

In the unlikely event that you want to dive into them, here are some of the older threads:

Er, "enjoy"? *g*

Glad I could provide a heads-up, and thank you for bothering!

In reply to slab_happy:

Forms filled, photos taken and e-mail sent from our household.

In reply to Chris the Tall:

Lynn's getting a gong so I have to go.

In reply to Offwidth:

Congrats to Lynn. She deserves it.

In reply to slab_happy:

Thanks!

Alex, for those of us who can't make the AGM, what (and when) can we expect in terms of official reporting back?
thanks,
John

In reply to ripper:

If the web gods are in our favour, it'll be livecast. Failing that, updates via FB, Twitter and Instagram.

A web article will follow, most likely Monday.

In reply to Alex Messenger, BMC:

Capel Curig Broadband, Alex? Hmmm....

In reply to slab_happy:

A few hours left... (deadline 11am today)

In reply to James FR:
