Thursday Training - AGM

As this Thursday is the Sports Club AGM at 7:30pm and as there is a proposal for a fairly significant increase in membership fees across most membership categories (see the noticeboard in the entrance foyer for details), it is important that the Harriers are well represented to take part in the vote on this proposal. THERE WILL THEREFORE BE NO TRAINING ON THURSDAY. YOUR ATTENDANCE AT THE AGM IS OF GREATER IMPORTANCE. If we have the same turnout that we have on a good training night then the Harriers stand a good chance of being in the majority at the AGM. (note that the Harriers committee was supporting an alternative proposal to make a substantial donation to the sports club from Harriers funds, with perhaps a small increase in membership fees so as to protect our members from greatly increased costs. The other sporting sections were expected to do the same).

Last year we took a vote of the members before we made a donation to the sports club. I think this has to be done again this year.

Any descisions about donations to the sports club would as before go to the membership

Agree with you both. A decision to be made at our own AGM .

I know it will be difficult but would it not be worth trying to get a general idea of how all, or the vast majority,of the club members feel about the increases before the AGM as I think it is important to give this meeting a realistic view of what Harriers members think. I am sure there are some strong opinions re the increases or giving the Sports Club another donation !

Let me make this quite clear there is no motion on the table for a donation to the sports club from the sections. The motion is for an increase to the fees. Anyone wanting to influence these increases should go to the meeting and let there feelings and alternate suggestions be known. We do not need to get the feelings of members as they all have a voice. Hope this clears things up.
