I am a member of another organisation (nothing to do with pigeons) ! have been informed that there will be no AGM this year but the financial situation of the organisation will be circulated to the membership and all the officials will remain in place standing for re election in Autumn 2021.

 

I wonder how such an arrangement would work with pigeon federations and clubs I suspect it would not find favour with many fanciers on account of contentious matters such as racepoints etc.

 

What do site members think considering that the alternative would seem to be some kind of distance voting system which would be cumbersome and contentious.

 

What do site members think?

Unfortunately some decisions have to be made without the majority present - and it may not meet with everybodies approval, our organisation has had meetings, some have taken place in the open air, and others in an enclosed room, it's not ideal whichever way you look at it

Walter, AGM's are meant to be held within 12 to 15 months from the previous AGM, however, due to Covid 19 this legislation has been suspended. Your other organisation is correct in making its statement.

 

I am in the process of preparing for our AGM, but given the recent rise in cases of Covid 19, I have serious doubts whether it will take place. I am of the opinion that Government legislation takes precedence over the whimsies of pigeon fanciers and the health and financial well-being of the country is more important.

 

We will just have to get on with it. We were extremely lucky to have any racing this year, albeit in retrospect, it might have been better if we hadn't bothered. The Committees who are in place will just have to keep "steering the ship".

Think it’s not so easy with 50/60/70 at a zoom meeting then u get the idiots that mute you when they don’t like what your saying .

[Delboy]

100 participants

 

 

 

Participants can join a meeting from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. How many participants can join the meeting? All plans allow up to 100 participants by default in each meeting (up to 1,000 with Large Meeting add-on).

The Zoom would suit yersel Ally and most people nowadays. Definitely the way forward, even without covid. It saves people travelling all over the place , especially in the winter.

[hotrod]

Oh and that’s if your informed about said meeting .

[Walter swanston]

I am afraid to say I know guys who are genuinely good people and fine fanciers but they ain’t computer literate.

You only need one computer and 2 or 3 seats in the room

Aye it would be grand for me Derek but like Walter said, not everyone is familiar or able to get access to these things.

Who gets numbers like that at AGM? I'm no sure about mute or functions. I've never used the app

[dal2]

Postal vote?

[yeboah]

Postal vote?

That's the simple answer

Proposals submitted

Agenda's sent out

Voting form enclosed covering all necessary points

All sheets numbered eliminating duplication

Every member then gets to vote eliminating threat from covid

Simples

Most clubs can hold a meeting with the Fed secretary sending out all proposals to the club secretaries. Each proposition is voted on at club level with the fors and againsts counted at the delegates meeting. The club delegates could easily have a meeting and votes counted in the presence of all club representatives.

The results of each vote is forwarded to the club secretaries who call another meeting to inform the members of the outcome of each individual vote.

Everything transparent and the members would more than likely get more of a say in the running of their fed than ever before at AGM's. Because for one reason or another they cannot or do not attend. Usually find a lot dont attend because of the bile spewed out by people who don't know how to conduct themselves at a meeting. They go to speak and are shouted down because their opinion differs from those who can only be described as bullies and they'd rather do without a say by attending the meeting only to be aggressively critcised for having their own thoughts on things.

So meetings are possible, results that reflect the Majority of members wishes can be carried without the need for an AGM.

Only way Del. Can you imagine a zoom meeting?? Roaring and shouting in mute at half deaf 80+ fanciers??? No chance. Postal is the only solution and the risk of manipulation will just have to be tolerated a

I'm afraid
