[QUOTE="Martyn Goodwin, post: 146985, member: 2433"] Our club WAS at a cross roads before the AGM where it had the opportunity to restore the confidence of the membership - confidence so badly damaged over the last year and dealt a massive blow at the last GCM. Alas that opportunity was not taken and at the AGM again we were berated with another unfounded personal attack which by the way had nothing to do with the matter under consideration. And in regard to the elephant in the room - the club forum - at the AGM yet again the gag was applied. It is now very clear that the interests of a few override the interests of the members generally. Here is the formal reply I received from the hon. secretary in reply to my request to raise a item of Other Business at the AGM in accord with the procedure set out in the agenda that the hon. secretary had distributed earlier. [INDENT][I]"Dear Martyn,[/I][/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT][I]As I’m sure you are aware it is much too late to raise a motion at the AGM.

What was the Best Club in the World is, sadly, no longer. Martyn Goodwin [/QUOTE]
