Am I seeing things:
Just reading my new copy of the archerygb magazine.
Page 62, Membership
"Change of Focus"
"Archery GB has been looking at Law 22 which says "each club is normally expected to join the county and region in which it is located."
"As of 1st October 2016, except under exceptional circumstances, all clubs and all archerygb members (INCLUDING DIRECT MEMBERS) will be EXPECTED to join their county and region"
Note, the CAPITALIZATION is mine, no the magazines!
NO WAY JOZE!!!!!
I became a direct member several years ago because I fundamentally disagreed with what the county and region that my club are in (and I live in) are doing and are run.
What is the point of being a direct member, if you are EXPECTED to join the county and region anyway?
The article attempts to clarify the ambiguous term "normally" as in "each club is NORMALLY expected to join"
Instead they've substituted one ambiguous term (normally) for another ("expected").
What does "expected" mean?
It doesnt say "MUST".
They can "expect" me to join C&R, but I'll be doing the "UNexpected"
I'd rather quit ArcheryGB altogether than join C&R!!!
Surely they can't just CHANGE law 22 without an EGM or something?
I dont remember voting for this, and sure as eggs is eggs, I damn well wouldnt have done!
Can I challenge this legally?
