It seems to against the very point of having the meeting in the first place to put an MT member as chair. No offence to Eamonn, I have a lot of respect for the man.

For the sake of transparency and goodwill I would suggest that people who nominate themselves to chair be voted on by the people who are planning on attending.

Then we have a fair democratic process with no comeback on anyone.

Fair enough, agree with that.

Paul, it's your idea - you don't have to have a meeting. The RC can run the series any way they like and the competitors can choose whether to race in DD or elsewhere. But if the MT/RC is genuine in wanting to sort out the issues raised on the DD forum and elsewhere, I respectfully suggest you make it as transparrent as possible - IMHO, that means a non MT chair.

I'd like to point out that I personally don't have any axe to grind but it's clear others do. I'm as eager as anyone to stop the bickering and make my suggestions in that light.

no comment on my suggestion?

Will you stop posting at the same time as me !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry, thought I'd covered my thoughts on that in my general reply to Rallys comments. This is all at the discussion stage and yes we DO wanmt to sort this all out.

It is fundamental to our club going forward rather than being continually dragged back by negativity.

Rather than this thread go forward as above, we have an MT meeting this Saturday I will put this item on the agenda and come back to people shortly with a decision on how the meeting might be constituted.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but Paul's initial suggestion was to provide an open meeting that allowed the DD and the DSC to suggest a format and to meet freely to discuss the issues and get a resolution.

By taking it offline immediately and making the 'decision on how it might be constituted' one that is made by the MT it is not going to assist in the open and honest approach.

People have put forward a number of ideas and you have a number of volunteers, what it needs now is organising and actioning, not debating behind closed doors.

ah........now you get it! see a pattern emerging?
