Captain

...... so Turbo came 2nd in the "wrinkly-est" section when he exhibited his "Hot - Rod" at the Melbourne show, however he was gracious in defeat when he realised that the 12 Incher had shat it in, and the judge was a committee of Nanna & PoxyLoxie (to ensure that they covered both the heterosexual and the joyous customers).

"I accept the Judges decision" he said with sickly graciousness "Because ........

..amen to that."

" ........ oh she wept, in one of our most intimate moments this century, 1st you mention sheep and now men. So is it true that you are a .............. (not that there is anything wrong with that) .............

.........upside down double loop that she had come to enjoy over the years. Half way through him removing his second pair of undies, they both had forgotten what they were doing, and he had the dribbles anyway. I'll call Middo he said...he'll know.....................

...... how to write a letter about it and put my performance in the best possible light. Then we can put it to a vote if you don't like my technique ....... but I have to tell you that I do have written legal advice that I am a stud."

By this time, Loxie's loyal spouse was starting to enjoy his attention. "Wowie" she said "What's that you have bulging in that 3rd pair of undies?"

"Oh bugger (NTTIAWWT), darling, that's another rivet that has come out of the Szara" he replied sheepishly.

"What have you been doing with sheep & why mention them at a special time like this?" she retorted "And by the way, who's Szara?"

As a result, Loxy was speachless for the 1st time in 25 years and he ejaculated (look it up, it isn't what you think) "Well ................

... an extra set of undies, just in case.

....... same like some Board Members took to the meeting last Saturday, and like PIC-Lox uses after his annual Saturday morning lie-in, when Mrs Lox gave thought to foreshadowing a vote of no confidence unless Loxie did that special .............

where as PIC, I have the authority to tell you what i'd like you to do, snigger snigger, just be aware, that the leak-down, can sometimes cause ongoing problems.

... particularly when you are at that stage of life where remembering to undo your fly is a major challenge."

"Don't you worry about that" said Andythehatshatter "Just being able to leak at all, either down or up, is a big issue (unless you own a Jab) for some of our more ancient members. Why just the other day I noticed that it took .........

Forget about Bulls mushroom, that's claimed to have have a big head and small stork, until I verify otherwise.Half you blokes wouldn'n know a centimetre from a gas-meter, yet I get a regular visit from a lovely young guy from AGL who has this instrument in his hand that can measure.........

..... heart beats, arousal levels and leak-down pressure of the PIC ............ all at the same time."

"I'm a Pilot in Command" replied PIC-Lox (tee hee) "And my arousal level is near ...............

It should be added that the manner in which the Membership in attendance conducted themselves on Feb 9th clearly demonstated that the email circulated in Gavin Thobaven's name in WA, and the similar Breitkreutz email in Qld ..... and more particularly the garbage email from South Australia circulated in Geoff Hennig's name were patent scaremongering CRAP that were clearly aimed at securing proxies based on false, misleading & fancifull information.

All three should be ashamed of themselves on that issue.

Am I the only one that feels cheated by the reported results of the meeting? I can't help the feeling that my Proxy was wasted. This was a perfect opportunity to force the board/executive into action and only two fairly nondescript motions were passed. (With promises that "we will do better")Why were the board not given clear motions along the lines of:

 

Treasurer to have all financial reports up to date and complying with legislative requirements in 30 days.

 

SR to provide written legal advice and brief regarding re-appointment within 30 days.

 

Board to include ALL board members with all material required to perform their functions as per legal requirements.

 

RAAus to employ staff/volunteers required to complete all NCN's issued by CASA within 30 days.

 

These may be not the actual motions put, but I hope you see where I am going with this. With actual instructions from the membership as to what is expected of them, the members have the opportunity to remove the "dead wood" at the AGM if they fail to perform.

 

Surely even the supporters of the Board couldn't object to clear directives and the possibility of member sanctions if they fail to do their job.

 

I think we have missed the chance of this by just allowing them to say something along the lines of "we did the best we could but will try harder" and leave them to, hopefully, do the right thing. It should be obvious to all that they need guidance.

 

If they still havn't improved by Temora what then? start the process all over again?

If the members responded to the Secretary's letter, and his apparent invitation to send him their proxies, in the way that I believe that they did, then it was difficult or impossible to institute radical change last Saturday.

In the initial skirmish at the meeting about the President's position and his Chairmanship of the meeting, Steve Runciman basically told the meeting that he WILL remain as President unless & until the matter is challenged in Court. So he is insisting on putting the membership and RAA to additional legal expense on that matter. A copy of the RAA's written legal advice, which the Executive say they have received, but many Board Members had not seen, is essential to see where we go from here on that issue. (I hate the concept of members with the best interest of RAA at heart having to take their own organisation to Court, but if it has to be done, then perhaps it has to be done).

David I demanded to see a copy of the written legal opinion if it was obtained using member's funds, but nothing was produced. If that opinion is not clear cut in favour of SR's reinstatement, then I suspect that it is clear that Jason Parkinson was acting for the Exec & Board on the SR resignation matter, as he didn't say a peep about that ..... yet he spoke at length to the meeting on other legal issues.

Late in the meeting it was made very clear to the Board that unless substantial and meaningful progress is made by Natfly on the issues discussed and/or moved on Feb 9th, then Motions of No-Confidence are foreshadowed at that March 30th General Meeting of RAA.

I will PM you with a some other background and will wait for David I's post on the meeting before posting more.

While it may not speed up the reporting timeframe, any of our accidents would receive more professional attention and a more rigorous reporting of cause.

Another of the delegated authority organisations used to have a culture of not reporting accidents extensively lest it frighten off prospective new members.

What we certainly don't want is accident reporting being "managed" by the Executive ......... or reports on selected accidents involving RAA luminaries being circumvented. The latter would never happen, would it?

Regards Geoff

Maj,

I was told somewhere recently that CASA offered to investigate RAA accidents, the RAA Board approved it, but RAA management failed to accept the offer while the budget was available and as instructed.

Does anyone else know anything about this?

We need to put it into perspective. What are we worried about here, someone taking revenge by egging some board members house?

It is a fact that some Board Members did not see that letter before it was issued and were not asked for permission to disclose their personal details in this way.

Surely it would have been reasonable and appropriate for the Secretary to ask them all.

Sue's suggestion is spot on. It should all have been c/- of the RAA Office as that would have achieved the same thing.
