Tannochsidebear 2,315 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Frankie, Now that a date and time have been announced, do you know if yourself, Scott, & Malcolm will be allowed a resignation speech at this meeting? I assume you are all able to attend and not on holidays? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are all able to attend and not on holidays? No idea mate. I am hoping I'll attend (I can't speak for others) but the early time and that fact it's on a Sunday may deter a lot of people from going. I did ask the remaining board to ensure my resignation letter was available for viewing if any member wanted to read it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,315 Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 I would have thought it was only fair that if a SGM is announced due to the departure of several board members, that said members (especially the former chairman) would be given a couple of minutes grace to say their piece. If this is not allowed, I see very little point in going to the meeting only to sanction the appointments of new board members. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is not allowed, I see very little point in going to the meeting only to sanction the appointments of new board members. The main reason for the meeting is to elect board members. They have been clever by saying that after the formal meeting, board members will be available to discuss matters. It can therefore be controlled as it is not part of the meeting, and it may even be on a one-to-one basis. Who knows? Certainly no mention of allowing ex-board members the chance of a statement, although it's obviously not precluded. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ernest Worthing Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 There is no restriction on 'other business' being undertaken at an SGM called by the Board, if that is the will of the meeting. Only an SGM called by the members (which is not the case here) is restricted to the business specified. For instance, on 6 July if anyone wants to call for the entire Board to resign then that is entirely competent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
