There was in the club magazine a request for people to submit their CVs to be selected as a member of the executive council. The specification didn't actually say Pale, male and stale but it might as well of.

Just reposting the picture as, although the one female is shown, some of the males are not.  Wink

Ah! That makes a little more sense.

He was the person that tried to tow his caravan up a grassy hill but ended up removing part of the rear panel of his caravan when it, not surprisingly, grounded Sealed

The things that I miss out on by not watching TV!!

I thnk it's profoundly depressing to see the narrow demographic represented here. It positions the CC as a deeply old-fashioned, conservtive (with a small c), organisation. If our hobby is to thrive and grow into the future, surely it needs to attract a wider demographic, much more representative of the UK population. If the public perceives CC as owned, run, staffed, and in existence only for white, suited, balding, middle-agd men, and ok maybe the occasional woman, then it cannot expect and will not deserve to flourish in the future. I believe that the Club is very forward looking in many ways - it's a sound business that - and I can only speak as I find as a member (customer?!) for over 15 years - has invested well and works very hard to deliver hgh levels of customer satisfaction. However, I do think that it is legitimate to criticie it on its apparent atitude to diversity.

The picture that is shown is of not paid staff but the unpaid commitees which as we know in this day and age, Is left to the few "stalwarts"who put themselves forward to help run clubs nationwide,but when any club anywhere ask for new members to come forward falls on "stoney ground"

So, it's a photo of our Club's elected Executive Council. Yes?

 I have scoured  the Club website for the minutes of their recent meetings, or even a summary of the decisions they have taken, but I don't seem to be able to find anything Can someone give me the link please.

Surely they don't meet in secret and make decisions without telling members. That wouldn't be how a Club operates, would it?
