Voted - A nice and simple system, well designed and simple to use. Well done all involved!
As regard the discussion above, in many situations I would agree with Andrew. However, with the BCA, I would rather have an empty seat at a meeting than a seat filled with a person who is going to be a barrier to the revitalisation that the BCA requires.
Too many opportunities for change have been lost over the last several years, when new people have become disillusioned by a small minority of incumbents who battle (sometimes using very dirty tactics) to maintain a dysfunctional status quo.
I'm not saying any of those standing this year would be such a barrier... I'm speaking from my experiences four years ago.
I hope that this year will break this cycle, and Rostam, Chris and the new team will be wholeheartedly supported in their efforts to get BCA's infrastructure modernised, members re-engaged in the organisation, and do more to support British caving. I'm encouraged already by the recent posts here on UKCaving and the new volunteers coming forward for the various support positions.
Thank you to everyone standing, and good luck!
