Hi All,
As you know I recently received a notice from the BMFA about an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to discuss the BMFA being able to acquire a piece of land (not yet found) to start work on the National Flying Centre. The trouble is that they tried to get a piece of land previously, but lost it because they couldn't act quickly enough because they were preparing to ask all their members for their opinion. So now they are proposing that they be allowed to act without asking every member so as to be able to act more quickly should a suitable site come up.
All affiliated clubs will asked to vote 'Yes' or 'No' at the meeting in Nottingham on 4th July, or to nominate another club to vote for them if they can't make the meeting.
As neither Paul nor I can make it that day, we asked Taj Manning from Mid Sussex Flyers to represent us and I have sent off our 'proxy' form saying that he will do that.
I also sent you all an email asking for your opinion in the form of 'Yes' or 'No' and have received 8 replies so far, all 'Yes'.
I await the replies from another 4 members and have till Monday morning as the deadline.
However, even if we don't receive those replies, we will declare our club result as a 'Yes' and inform Taj accordingly as 75% of our members are in favour.
Many thanks to those who voted.
We would also like to thank Taj Manning for helping us out by voting for us on 4th July.
Regards
Rob Stanley
Hon Sec. / Hon Treasurer
