[...]all depends if you feel the need to get involved or your happy with the way things are.

At least it's in a caving area so you can also have a day underground. Maybe this will make the drive a bit more worth it
This guidance has been written for the committee of a mountaineering, walking or climbing club to use while reviewing the way that their club processes data within their club to ensure compliance with GDPR. It is based on information available at the time of writing. There are several topics where the Information Commissioners Office still has to provide full guidance, therefore additional information may be made available to clubs in the future.
Ali-Mac - If no-one from your club can attend then I'd be happy to vote on your behalf, with an official letter of authority obviously.
Come on BCA Council, get real and grow a pair!
My Club still has a small number of such members.
We continue to aim to respect them and engage them with the Club as best we can
Quote from: kat on April 17, 2019, 06:56:04 pmMy Club still has a small number of such members. So, for the sake of these few, the rest of the BCA has to physically turn up. If it's at the other end of the country, you can't get time off work, can't spend on a ticket or fuel to get where ever, hell, even a late train,will mean you can't vote. It doesn't take a massively left progressive to see that looking after the few at the expense of the majority is the undemocratic thing to do, no matter how nice they are, or what they contribute.
That debate however is different to the voting aspect. Here you can offer online voting or attendance in person [...] This should cover those without email.
It's hard enough sorting legitimate data sharing between Local government and police for regulatory enforcement......
There has to be a better way for the BCA to deal with the issue and enable communication with those members. Even if its simply advising them (via the Club route if appropriate) that without an email address they won't receive direct communications.
Its not their problem to solve. You are asking / forcing people to solve a BCA problem as they are not able to find a solution themselves.
