2012 SAU-Vic EGM/Committee Elections

Location: Garage Cafe

Time: 6:30-10:30PM (7:30PM Formalities)

Date: Wednesday 20th Feb

Food: Finger Food.

Drink: Beer & Soft Drink

The 2013 SAU Vic elections will be held via EGM at the February Club Meeting on Saturday 16th February 2013

At this meeting, the new Committee for 2013 will be elected. All current Committee members will step down on 16/02/2013.

So when exactly is / was this?

And isn't it the AGM (Annual General Meeting)? An EGM is an Extraordinary General Meeting.

An AGM is exactly that an Annual General Meeting

And EGM is an Extraordinary meeting, a meeting called upon by the Committee members

Not sure what the relevance of whether its an AGM/EGM has any bearing on the topic discussed at hand

"The Annual General meeting (AGM) is an important event for every organisation. It gives its members, the general public and the committee a broad overview of the organisation's current directions and financial health and confirms its purpose.

It is also the time to revitalise the organisation through the official engagement of members into key elected positions."

An Extraordinary General Meeting is called at times other than an AGM, usually in response to a crisis occurring in the running of the organisation.

Feb 20 is surely the AGM, as dictated by the rules of incorporation.

Are we really going to argue becuase the post has an E and not an A? Are you not going to turn up because its an EGM and not called an AGM?

The agenda of the meeting is clearly outlined in the first post.

The rules of the Club are governed by the Club constitution, this dictates how the club is run. There are no set rules from every incorporation. i could call it a PGM (Party General Meeting) and if that's what the constitution says that's what it will be.

In addition we have already had a AGM this year. So should we call this our Double Annual General Meeting?

If you have any further issues of what we call our meetings please contact Consumer Affairs on 1300 558 181.

Or feel free to nominate yourself as Treasurer and re-write our club constitution.

Sorry Tony, but you are wrong. The club may be governed by its constitution, but that constitution is governed by the Incorporations Act, which has recently been amended. As an executive committee member, this is something you need to be aware of. The Incorporations Act contains what are termed "model rules", and it is these that are generally used to form the constitution of incorporated bodies, like SAU-Vic.

If you have already had an AGM, then that is the time you should have elected a new committee.

Because the Incorporations Act 2012 has changed the "model rules", many incorporated bodies are calling Extraordinary General meetings to pass a resolution to the effect that their constitution be changed in line with the revised model rules.

As an executive member of the committee, I suggest you familiarise yourself with the rules that govern the operation of incorporated bodies.

The club's constitution doesn't need re-writing, it just needs to be adhered to. Unfortunately, I can't stand for committee, as I am not a financial member of SAU-Vic.

(FWIW, I have some 20 years experience in serving on the committees of various incorporated bodies)

It's governed by the 'model rules' or it can create its 'own' rules.

Model rules versus own rules

Your association may use the model rules, or create its own rules. Either way, the rules must address every item listed in Schedule 1 of the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012

If you want to further discuss this please take it to PM and not to clutter this thread.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
