The operative word is "should". This is the expectations, but there is no preclusion to you registering your report. Also as Walter states, you are an individual member of your Federation, so there is no preclusion to you notifying the secretary and raising your matter at the Fed without even going to the club. You are also an individual member of the SHU and therefore no preclusion to you raising your matter in a similar way with the SHU secretary. You should, that word again, attend all your AGM's and exercise your right to voice your opinion and vote accordingly. Lack of attendance is stifling new ideas and promoting the same old same old.
