Margaret C
Well-known member
The whole episode makes the electoral procedure an absolute nonsence.
If Margaret had been voted in by members, would the Committee members named would still have resigned?
So really nobody that those Committee members don't like could get on the Committee without knowing they are causing major problems for the Club.
So much for the democratic election process.
Part of the notice on the website states:-
"The club also wishes to take advantage of ERS expertise on electoral processes when issues arise on which expert advice is needed"
I intend to take advantage of that expertise as well.
When I contacted the ERS I outlined a little of the circumstances to the nice young man there.
1. Voted off by 200 members a few months ago and yet not one person stood against me?
2. Club Officers who would resign and see the Club unable to continue, but had not arranged for candidates for the vacant positions?
3. Over 800 members, who were unable to attend the SGM, deprived of the chance to vote on my return?
(These are the non-show members, they would not recognise the names of top breeders or exhibitors, but they would recognise my name from all the health literature I had written over the years. Who do you suppose would get their vote? )
4. A very real threat that a new rule will be proposed to stop me from ever standing for the committee again?
The nice young man suggested that I write to the ERS with all the details.
