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.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
