Thanks, David. Perhaps a Gremlin cut and pasted it there while I was taking a wee dram?

I received an email yesterday from the club with the agm link and outlining voting procedures. Said info about remote attendance would come in due course.

Lack of election to any post is a bit grim. I know it depends on people being willing to do the jobs. The Council seems to have a number of retired employees. I also see there seem to be vacancies on the Council but no encouragement for participation. The council doesn’t seem to have many ordinary members on it. And why does the Club need a Chaplin?

what was it someone said about the State of Denmark? (apologies to any Danish reading this!)

"And why does the Club need a Chaplin?"

I could say the club has many Chaplins.😆

Seriously, it's a question asked before and the lady concerned posted here outlining the Chaplain's duties of pastoral care for the whole club community of any and all denominations. Personally, I'm not convinced of the need.

As I read things, all but one nominee is a re election, that being the more obvious younger nominee.

I don’t worry about the Council, they rumble on as they have done for years. The ideas, the policies, the changes, the implications come from elsewhere…….

At the moment, given the still ongoing rise in tourer purchases and staycations, the membership figures, the willingness to pay to stay on a site regardless of how much it costs, all this is still giving a healthy profit, and therefore carte blanche to carry on putting in place policies that continue this trend. 

The “Club” was Member focussed. What we have now is Business focussed. Sites are happy to do their best for visitors. HQ view fee paying Membership as impersonal units for the extraction of cash in as many ways as possible.

iIs a Club if you care to partake in Centre membership and if it wasn't run on business lines there would be no Club sites or services. Even if there are profits, excessive or not, it all goes back into further providing facilities for members.
