So you wouldnt mind if I invited 100 of my mates along, non of which are members, get one to nominate me and then all vote for me?
Hey that really is not too bad an idea, only problem is I dont have that many freinds, although I reckon I could get 100 people to vote me in, if paid the right amount
JK, but that is exactly my point, then any old bastard off the street with heaps of people voting for him could potentially run the club, I am sorry but I do not want that to happen.
As a paying member I have the right to a say in what happens in the club, I right I do not think should be extended to the general public.
If you want a say, join, only costs like $50 (without the t-shirt) how hard is that?
Sorry Mud I dissagree, why not let people attend the meeting, let them see what is going on and be totally open, but they just do not have a say on nominations or voting or anything to do with the club.
Just like parlement, we can go and sit and watch the polies in Canberra, but that doesnt mean we are alowed to make up laws.
If people want to join there and then I would love to encourage them to do so! But they must be members before they can have the right to participate in club votes and the like.
