CHAIR: ALLEN CANOBIE.
Advised of impending operation on elbow after fall, warning will not be able to hang, only offer advice at art show.
 
Allen outlined procedure for discussion on proposal to change meeting venue, with a speaker for proposal to be followed by a speaker against the proposal.
 
President Jacque outlined the back-ground to change of venue with menu options to cater for dietary requirements the main reason.
Feed back to email ranged from members wishing to change to those wishing to stay at Golf Club, to other members stating not an important issue with them. Coming through in feedback was desire to maintain goodwill.
Hopefully a concensus can be reached, if not option for a secret ballot.
 
Allen then facilitated discussion.
 
  • For proposal to change venue: Dietary requirements, as a diabetic dietary requirements not met.
  • Against proposal: Shamrock like a barn need to leave room for drinks at a public bar and noise from adjoining dinning area. At Golf Club have intimate surroundings and own bar.
  • For: Do not like meals at Golf Club.
  • Against: Profile will not be higher in back room of Shamrock, bigger functions can be held in back room of Golf Club.
  • For: Meal choice up to individual.
  • Neutral: Suggest trial at suggested venue before a decision is made.
  • For: Process taken to this point should not be criticised. Share meeting place around.
  • Comment: Process open with opportunity for all to have a say.
  • Comment: Change of venue to see vocational businesses.
  • Comment: Simple issue, hopefully not upsetting some members
  • Comment: If stay at Golf Club need to negotiate dietary needs.
RESOLUTION:
Three month trial with meetings to be held at both venues, both Shamrock and Golf Club would be on trial.
 
PRESIDENT JACQUE continued Club Assembly.
