Apathy Rules?
Posted by Neil on April 1st, 2010
There have been several changes to the club since the days (many moons ago) when I was club chair – the long and often tedious club meetings have now (thankfully) been replaced with a far more practical Committee meeting followed by a Club social meeting; the club now offers regular training and try-dive days; the Website has seen a number of improvements, including online payment, and a much better trip booking system.
One thing that appears not to have changed since I stepped down from the Committee, however, is the general apathy of the majority of club members.
Yes, the proposed Constitution may not exactly be as exciting as the latest Boyz magazine – but it is an important document – it states how we want the club to be run, what the club’s aims and objectives are, and the requirements for membership and GLUG trips, among other things.
And yet, only 17 people have so far bothered to download it, read it, and vote on it, out of a membership of over 100. That’s a worse turnout than at many local government elections!
Come on, people – take an active interest in how the club is run: Download the document, read it, and Vote!
Neil.

I am planning to attend the EGM next Tuesday and I had an impression that on-line vote is for people who cannot attend. Is that correct?
