Vote against the Chairman's Re-election

What makes you think that changing one old lag for another will make things better?. Its the structure of the club that needs changingto meet the needs of todays vaners and meet the competition out there. Lets get rid of the peripherals and go back to basics with a reduction in HO costs.

Well I know someone on this forum who has been a senior manager in several multinational companies and been responsible for multi million pound budgets. 

That person also is qualified in commercial law and recently did a degree in management with a specific focus on business strategy. Don't think that person would bankrupt the CC. 

That person would be delighted to offer their experiences to the club but that person has no idea who to approach  

Wonder which poster that might be?

This person sounds eminently well qualified. I have only one concern.

If he doesn't have the initiative to find out for himself who to approach, does he really have the drive to transform the club?

Only sayin. 

I suspect that person is quite good at demonstrating initiative and recognising where best to allocate his time. That's why he got to the position in life he achieved . He is probably putting his efforts now into projects that are of no concern to hostile posters on CT with their own agenda . 

Previous he was probably quite busy working and earning enough money to retire at 54. 

Only saying.  He can also spell I believe

You seem to have changed your story.

Originally you posted. 

"That person would be delighted to offer their experiences to the club but that person has no idea who to approach  "

Now you seem to be saying he wouldn't  want a role.  

Which is it?

Why don't you ask him? 

I retired at 51 but would not want to take on another post that would be as thankless and open to ridicule, as seems to be how most people who try to do their best,are treated by those who , as more seem to be,  only interested in finding ways to rubbish anything that the majority seem quite happy with

And that applys it seems these days,to anyone who are willing to give up their time to try to help run any "club" 

As I said earlier, I would like the candidates to give a few sentences outlining their particular vision of the way the club can progress.

I also agree and find posters that think it clever to be constantly critical of others whilst doing nothing themselves to be an irritant and reflective of too much of society today

I wonder how that would work. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure that current rules don't allow canvassing of members. If you were standing on a particular platform how would you get your points across wothout a change in the rules?  Perhaps the Club is looking for continuity rather than revolution? I think the Club rules would have to be changed first which might be difficult.

Half a page in the magazine would do it. I am thinking of a simple mission type statement 

As long as every candidate had the same opportunity it would not (AFAIK) break canvassing rules 

A revolution is not needed IMHO but a leader without vision is not a good head of any organisation 

True, Fysh. There's the world of difference between an election statement and canvassing.
