Vote against the Chairman's Re-election

It's true the chairman showed a lack of judgement behind the wheel of the vehicle but we don't know enough about him as to whether he lacks judgement in his business life. The real problem is I have no idea who any of them are or their business backgrounds so on that basis I won't vote

Agree with you 100%. So he can't reverse? but he's not elected to do that, he's elected to help run this club, Vote for him on that basis alone, and as above if you can't then don't

I have met him a couple of times and he comes across as a pretty down to earth sort of guy whose passion is the Caravan Club. He has come in for some totally unacceptable opinions and criticisms in other threads. Rather than someone calling for him to be voted out they should have the courage to stand against him in an election if they feel that have more to offer.

The OP reminded me of the letters you used to hear on "Points of View" usually signed off by "disgruntled of Henley"

Write your comments here...

Putting forward ideas, or yourself, or even contacting a Member of the Club's Committee, is nothing like as easy as you might think in the Caravan Club, which is actually a ppretty closed shop which conducts itself to its own entire satisfaction.  For example, to put a motion to the AGM, which you might imagine was every Member's right, is actually very difficult and involves getting prior approval of the Executive Council. You can't simply approach the Council, or even a single Council or Committee Member, because they are inaccessible.

But you can at least show your disapproval by voting against the re-election of the Chairman, which I have exercised my right to do.  No doubt he has many redeeming qualities but I felt the Chairman's involvement in the Caravanner of the Year Competition, which was clearly his personal project, was seriously misjudged.  It was also disgraceful that after a huge outcry on this forum, well over 100 pages of mostly adverse comment and many calls for the Chairman's resignation, the next edition of the Club Magazine made no mention of any discontent and instead printed a few letters of praise and thanks.

We therefore need a change at the top, so please join me in registering your objection by voting against the Chairman's re-election.

Sorry OP, I'll not be doing that.

Caravan maneuvering by him is a little 'iffy', but I won't condemn him for that when it comes to running the club. I class myself as pretty good with a caravan but would be pretty crap at running the CC.

So, our chairman made a "error of judgement" and some want him "out", have these member never made a mistake????

Have just returned home and see there is an Email from the CC inviting me to vote for committee members. 

I am going to vote for the retention of G Chamberlain as Chairman. 

I quite enjoyed watching the Caravanner Of The Year Rally and G Chamberlain provided much amusement.  As far as the contestants were concerned, there were absolutely nothing wrong with them, they were good people, the kind of people you will see every weekend at CC rallies.

So all in all I am looking forward to next year's COTY and see what entertaining faux pas are made by Chairman G Chamberlain.    He has my vote...

If anyone wants to put a point over ,there are regional meetings held in venues over the country every year,which are attended by HO staff and Commitee members ,but it seems some expect a personal visit,to be able to vent their often misguided views

It was a stupid mistake but hands up anyone who has not made one. The only thing that matters though is how he helps contribute to the running of the club. If you feel he is generally doing a good job then there is no reason to vote against him unless you know of a better candidate.
