Mike/All
There will be a flyer included with the next club magazine, along with a posting on the forum giving all the info on the AGM and how to vote if you so wish by post/Email. It will be all done with in these guidelines from the constitution.;
[i]An Annual General Meeting (AGM) shall be held each year on a date to be announced by the Secretary in either the Club Magazine or on the Club Forum at least twenty eight (28) days prior the meeting. All persons whose membership is current on the date of the meeting are eligible to attend.The AGM agenda will be drawn up by the Secretary and will be posted in either the Club Magazine or on the Club Forum at least seven (7) days prior to the meeting. The Agenda will include candidates for election and re-election to the posts of Club officials.[i]
Hope this helps

No worries maybe I did not word it correctly.
An A4 sheet of paper will go out with the next mag to ALL members giving details of; when/where/time. Along with an agenda and a list of club officials that are standing for re-election along with details of how to have yourself put forward for any of the positions. Along with details of how to vote by Email/post should you so wish. Also on the reverse is a space for comments/suggestions that you may wish to be raised. It will all become clear when you get it (I hope)!! A copy of this will be posted on the forum also.
Hope this helps

Just for example ...so if i was to recieve this flyer and I wanted to put myself forward as a candidate, how would those members who dont view this forum ( and there are a lot ) know that and hence be able to vote for me either in person or by postal vote?

...not trying to be argumenative .. just cant see how that works ... sorry.

yes I see what your saying However the forum is the only way of disseminating information without it costing the club a fortune in postage. The AGM notice states;
A full list of candidates will be published on the DOC forum at least 14 days before the AGM The only other way would be to mailshot 250+ members with a list of people standing for election. A cost of about probably about £90. I do agree that not everyone views or uses the forum (approx 100 members do) however the information is there to see. I am however happy to do a mailshot if that is what the members feel they want and the committee are happy for me to do it.

Maybe this could be issued with an earlier magazine next time round with the final list in the one after prior to the AGM... just a thought to save on these postage costs.

Cheers for the replies Chris.

Hi Mike,

I can see exactly what you're saying, as it was something that had crossed my mind at
one point too.

However, I'm not sure sending out AGM voting stuff too early would work, as you run the
risk of being 5-6 months ahead of the meeting - and a lot can happen in that space of time.

I've spent the last week working on full income/expenditure analysis sheet, and will be happy
to submit full DOC Accounts at the AGM, plus these will also be printed in full with the AGM
Minutes in the relevant issue of DeLorean News.

I'm happy to stand for re-election to the post of Treasurer this year, I'm really enjoying the role
and look forward to progressing it further in the future.
