I will repeat each as a poll, lets see if we can influence or agree with the meeting

[Canadian Paddler]

It is a shame that there are no explanatory notes for these motions. 6.3 had a paragraph explaining the logic. Some of the other motions may be easier for clubs to discuss pre meeting if we knew why. The meeting is supposed to represent the views of all paddlers not just those that can attend. :ohwell:

I try to canvass views within my club before the meeting as I am their rep. This is hard when they ask WHY? to some changes.
