THIS IS THE BIG PROBLEM IN SCOTLAND ROSE DELEGATES DO AND VOTE AS THEY WANT (THE MEMBERS FAULT) WHEN I WAS PRES. OF THE FED I TRIED TO GET THIS THROUGH THAT U USE UR DELEGATES AS U WANT THEY ARE MESSENGERS, BUT IT WAAS HOPELESS, NO ONE WAS INTERESTED, AND ITS THE SAME YET, I AM THE CLUB DELEGATE WELL ONE OF THEM, I HAVE NEVER KNOWN MY CLUB TO HAVE A MEETING TO INSTRUCT ITS DELEGATES HOW TO VOTE ETC AT FED MEETINGS OR THE FED TO HAVE A MEETING TO INSTRUCT THEIR DELEGATES HOW TO VOTE AT SHU MEETINGS ITS JUST NOT DONE, AND ITS THE MEMBERS FAULT, DELEGATES ARE MESSENGERS, I HAVE BEEN AT MEETING AND SEEN 2 DELEGATES FROM THE SAME ORGANISATION ARGUING AND VOTING AGIANST ONE ANOTHER, THIS IS OUT OF ORDER AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED, THE ONLY WAY U CAN GET THINGS DONE PROPERLY IS GO BY THE RULES 100% WHETHER U THINK THEY ARE RIGHT OR NOT, IF ITS A RULE WHICH IS NOT RIGHT THEN IT SHOULD NOT BE THERE THE MEMBERS SHOULD HAVE IT REMOVED BY THE PROPER WAY, AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM, NOT GOING BY THE RULES AND NOT BEING BOTHERED TO ATTEND MEETINGS, WHICH THE LATER IS OK BUT IF U DO NOT ATTEND U SHOULD NOT CRITISIZE IT, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH OF READING RULE BOOKS AND THIS IS ALL OVER NOT JUST IN THE SHU RULES ARE NOT ADHEARED TO ON MANY OCCASIONS ALL OVER, IT SHOULD NOT BE. IF A RULE SAY'S BEND U SHOULD BEND, IF ITS NOT TO BE USED THEN REMOVE IT UNTIL THEN ITS THERE. ALL OFFICIALS SHOULD KNOW THE RULES AND SEE THAT THEY ARE CARRIED OUT.
