MNZ elections?

[fossil]

Where are the voting papers? why cant we vote on line, all those people in office surely someone knows where a post box is!

last year we were told they were sent out by a direct mailing firm, so apparently there is no one in office capable of collating this and getting it out to members on time.

or is the late arrival just another sneaky plot to keep voting fiqures low.?

in years gone by repected life members oversaw voting ,you could do by mail and at AGM AND VOTES CAST WERE VERIFIED.
ANY OTHER CLUB CONSIDERING THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT AGM AND THE VOTES NOT SIMPLY DESTROYED After all they are no longer secret as your rider number on them .
How legal is that?

This would remove lingering doubts some of us have over the election process in recent years.

given the constant interference by Huntly and some in our club are of the opinion the office thinks its MNZ AND NOT THE MEMBERS,

inTHINGS THE OFFICE SHOULD NOT BE INTERFERING WITH.the feeling is the watch word of this AGM should be.
putting things right ,openess and honesty

I have been told of people not recieving voting papers or having multiple packs turn up.
I am concerned that with this inefficient and inept mail out to members (therefore voters) it may result in a null invoid vote, especially when the momentum is for change, this would be cop out.
The voting auditor also does accounting work for MNZ (reffered to in the Presidents report) .An independant party? as per the Constitution.

I received 2 lots of everything.......................if someone didn't receive any papers at all I can send a copy or fill 1 in for you.

Or print these pages back to back to form just the 1 page

Thanks Tony. Yet again I'd be in the dark were it not for this forum. As yet I've still had fark all from them

[scracha]

A hell of a lot of us used their online login thingie to get our race licenses....why couldn't that system be extended for the voting?

WARNING...DO NOT USE THE PDF FORMS. YOUR VOTE WILL NOT COUNT

Oh wait a minute..."Original forms only will be accepted; photocopies and non originals will not be counted except with the prior written consent of the CEO"

WHY THE HELL NOT? They've got our MNZ number on there so what difference does it make that they're photocopied. Time to get on the blower to Huntly. Maybe that's why half the fork got 2 sets of papers.....so they could pass a copy onto half the members who didn't get theirs.

[Biggles08]

I got two sets too....or is it too sets two?!?!

Neil Ritchie Endorses Jim Tuckerman

26/04/09

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

I wish to endorse the nomination of Jim Tuckerman for President of Motorcycling New Zealand.

I have known Jim for over 25 years through his commitment to motorcycle sport. Jim stood out from other motorcycle workers when I first met him, when he was assisting his club with a motocross event yet he was from the road racing section of the club. This is a rare trait in our sport and made Jim stand out amongst his peers.

Since then I have worked with Jim extensively and witnessed his huge contribution to our sport. Some of my highlights of Jim’s professionalism include – media, TV coverage, safety, stewardship, track construction, hospitality, communication, riders support, riders briefing, event presentation and marketing. It would be fair to say there is no one else in our MNZ family that has contributed to our sport across such a wide variety of activities. His latest role in promoting the Castrol Power 1 Superbike Championships has driven this series to a very high standard that we have not witnessed in the sport for many years.

I acknowledge Jim for his forthright approach to all matters which are very refreshing in an era of PC correctness. His ability to make a decision and the commitment he puts behind the decision are undisputable.

Jim is very approachable and an excellent sounding board for all thoughts and ideas. You have not considered all options until you have talked to Jim. He also has immense respect for championing the cause of the little guy. He is a true rider’s advocate.

I can sincerely say I would trust Jim to the end of the world. He is a person who I can call a mate and enjoy his company. It should not be forgotten that Jim is ably supported by his lovely wife Kathy who has also been a great supporter for MNZ and our motorcycling family.

I firmly encourage your vote to support Jim in becoming President of MNZ.

Yours sincerely

Neil Ritchie

Friend of Motorcycling.

scracha,

I am very interested that you have received a letter regarding your photocopied Voting Form.

Firstly, who was the letter from and what was the date on the letter

Jim Tuckerman

[scracha]

Due where it's due. Emailed Paul Pav and got a pretty fast response saying OK for the photocopied one.

[kawasaki king]

bit strange though that you got a letter from someone in first place,

if it was office ,why didnt they just send you right forms in first place,
cant have been from the voting lady she wouldnt have had your address, shes supposed to be impartial,so vote would have just been counted as an incorrect one , or is the office getting told hows the votings going ?
