Parramatta Eels AGM - Sunday 14th December 10am - At Parra Leagues

[MarkInTheStands]

Do we know who counts the votes? I don't trust that they will be counted correctly! DF certainly does not seem trustworthy to me!

The returning officer is the same as it has been for the last 10 years. I can't remember her name, be the Lady that does it, along with her team of volunteers are the same group that do not only our elections but the Elections at the Tigers, I believe the Bulldogs and various other RSL and Leagues clubs in the greater Sydney area. They are completely impartial.

I do also remember after the last "Serious" challenge to the board from the NPT that while walking into the league club, a bloke handing out NPT how to vote cards was telling everyone to vote in pen as "they" can rub out pencil and change your vote!

Arhh good time and paranoia.

8) Notice(s) of Motions

Has the club advised (voting) members at all how they might go about putting a notice on motion...?

I can see this part of the annual meeting(s) being of more use in getting some things that the broader membership might want done within the club than the election of directors itself to be honest.

 

[parra-matters]

Do we get minutes sent out after the meeting to all members?

That was in your Notification of the AGM letter.

No you would have to request them. Either way I will most probably take some notes during the Day as I have for the past few AGM's and post them if possible.

Cool MITS thanks, but really all paid up members should recieve a copy of the offical minutes of a AGM.

I am trying to remember if they are in the Annual Report. Anyone?

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

No they aren't

 

[MarkInTheStands]

Very well, Thank you Mr Bell.

Ah, cheers MITS.

Will be interesting to see if any members make use of that this time around.

I for one can see Notices on Motion being used extensively by members for the 2009 AGM on an issue-by-issue basis, no matter the composition of the Board, seeing as there will be no election for anyone to worry about.

Hi Guys.. My old Tiger killers.lol
I heard something on 2sm talking sport about a demonstration by supporters to Ditch DF! Can you tell me more ?? is it related to the election day etc ? , altho im not a parra fan as such i hate that ego maniac and everything he stands for so if i can add myself as another head in the crowd im there! , and also happy to spread the news to others who arent aware of whats going on.

Good Luck guys

Hi Macnaz,

The article in the newspaper about the rally can be found in this thread: http://forums.leagueunlimited.com/showthread.php?t=214827

You'll find a range of opinion about the rally in that thread. It's not really related to the Football Club Board elections, as Denis Fitzgerald is a contracted employee and not up for election or ousting as such.

The main way Parramatta supporters can get involved or participate in the direction of their club is by becoming voting members of the Leagues Club and/or Football Club, something that is subject to the payment of annual fees and a waiting period.

Oh dear.....

 

[MarkInTheStands]

how do we submit proxy votes, anyone ?

i would assume there would be proxy forms posted out when the ballot is finalized.

I am sorry to inform you gentlemen that there is no proxy voting in the Football Club AGM. There has never been proxy voting since the club came into existence in 1947. There was a motion to allow proxy voting at the club in the mid 90's the club under took an investigation on having proxy voting, and on the advise of their lawyers, decided against it. For what reasons I do not know as I didn't push that point.

 

[Hellsy]

Well there you go then.........

Well, Twiz has just wasted $75, as would many others, as I believe that the primary motivation of joining the Football Club, was to vote and have a say in how it is run.

He could of course, fly to Sydney, pay for meals and accomodation etc......

Wow, I'm more confused then ever.........

on the advice of their lawyers,

WTF? :?

Suity

 

[Hellsy]

Yeah... that part did confuse me as well.
Im disappointed TBH

 

[Suitman]

Ye, me too.

I'm disappointed for all the people who joined up thinking they would be able to have a small part to play in this club.

The "little boys club" evidence grows.

Suity

Hopefully the likes of Eric/Pricey/etc... know this and would like to change it.
