Council of Southern Caving Clubs versus the membership and youth

Whoever presented their ?letter of representation? scribbled on a Yorkshire Tea box should be ashamed of themselves. This is a perfectly recyclable material. The North York Moors Caving Club would never have committed such and act and has been producing its AGM minutes on ripped up and well used beermats for decades. The documents are subsequently approved if Daisy (the clubs dog) licks them as apposed to ripping them to shreds.

Perhaps we should have used a Lancashire tea box instead?

I assume there will soon be a vote on the future of group voting, it seems to me that there are calls from people who want to increase the bureaucracy of the group vote (and therefore ensure it's less inclusive) by restricting future AGM votes to only those clubs which are so bureaucratically efficient that they have printed out a letter in triplicate, signed in blood and had the letter officially blessed by the witch of Wookey hole.

If they are admitting now that they want rid of the group vote, then bring it, we'll have the vote now.

But by stating that you believe that the vote that was held at this years AGM was unconstitutional (even though it was one of the most attended meetings) is Farcical. Those that have said such a thing have shown their true colours in that they want to restrict the vote to a select few, and outright dismiss the views of the majority.

If I have put words in the mouth of anyone, then put me right, just saying what I see.
 
I wouldn't get too worried about covering your arse with that tea box Alastair, I don't think they were sniping at you. I think it may have had something to do with many student clubs using hastily scrawled letters of authorisation (Many were on expedition/holidays and so couldn't attend the meeting). Luckily I emailed the secretary in advance to check what was required of a letter....
