- Report on EGM to discuss merger of LSERSA and SRSA
- On Wednesday 17th January 2007 an EGM was held for both LSERSA and
SRSA to decide the future of the regions and to vote on dissolving the
existing regions and merging as one bigger region.
-
-
Firstly, LSERSA's Committee Secretary would like to thank all of you who either returned
your Proxy Form or who attended the meeting in person. It was a great
reassurance that our attempts to keep our members informed seemed to have
worked so well.
-
-
Unfortunately, the proceedings did not get as far as hoped, as
whilst a majority of LSERSA members voted in favour of the merger, the
Southern Region did not feel able to vote, at this time, on the proposal
to dissolve and merge as one region. This was because there were several
clubs who felt they did not have the full facts or did not have sufficient
time to consider them. However, there was a long and frank discussion
and it would appear that having become more familiar with the proposal,
there was some support for further consideration at a later date. In view
of all the hard work that goes into running the regional races during the
summer months, it was decided that the proposal would be best left
until the AGM in November. This will provide time for more discussion and
resolution of problems, which some of the SRSA clubs are concerned about.
-
- Prior to the meeting the Chairs of the Regions had written
an open letter and the whole matter of regionalisation had been discussed at various SSE Council meetings.
See the Council's
Regional Proposals - a document outlining the key points put to the October Council meeting together with
a more detailed paper
specifically considering
the LSERSA and SRSA situation.
