In the latest edition of Cycle Magazine (April/May 2018) There is a voting form on the inside and reverse of the address A4 sheet. DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY. The form allows you to vote on 5 motions for the 2018 AGM by postal vote. To vote you must sign against 2a to register your vote and once voted you can simply place your A4 sheet in an envelope then address it to "FREEPOST ERS" no address and no stamp needed.
Ordinary business 1,2 and 3 are self explanatory but Ordinary Resolutions 4 and 5 are much more important especially motion 5.
Motion 4 asks if you are willing to support a full membership increase of £1.50 per annum. (Take your pick)
Motion 5 is VERY IMPORTANT it reads " That each Cycling UK member is entitled to stand for election to the Board of Trustees without having to satisfy a nomination committee's conditions, instead which a proposal supported by 10 other members should be sufficient to place their name on the ballot paper."
For the sake of DEMOCRACY I URGE you to VOTE FOR this motion. Unless you know who is on the "Nominations Committee" and you know that each of them have been democratically installed themselves, I urge that you support this motion to help restore democracy to this once great organisation.
Do not post this ballot paper back with blank voting boxes, the rules state that this transfers your vote to the Chair, who will almost certainly vote against this so the 'Nominations Committee' have control of candidates who are forwarded as Trustees.
The ballot paper includes instructions for those who prefer to vote on line.
I will be happy to discuss further with anyone this Thursday at the CTC slide show at the Fat Cat,
Barry
