If we dont vote then when it comes to grizzling we should be similarly apathetic about doing so.
Absolutely correct!
I think after only one year as President Jim has had precious little time to make his mark and therefore also continue with some of the positive directions taken
He's been President for two years.
It is my sincere hope that the road race rules are not severely emasculated once again because there is nothing worse for competitors and suppliers when there is constant uncertainty.
Do you know with any certainty that Jim won't do that, or that Chris will do that???
Indeed a number of those suppliers are massive bill payers and / or very active in this sport and their involvement must be respected commensuarte with what they put in. Too often they are taken for granted by too many, almost as if they are a charity.
I just want to know, how exactly has Jim has grown the sport, if the Nats this year no longer have one of their main sponsors? Or may not even have a club that will run the Manfeild round of the Nats?
Jim is not perfect and can have a gruff demeanour at times
I absolutely agree!
but there is no doubt that his heart is in the right place and he is and will continue to work very hard.
Are we voting for a President or Club Patron??
If its a President, then we need to elect a credible, non-aggressive individual that can be a respectable figurehead for our sport. One that can go to any event in NZ without being banned. One that can respectably liaise with contractors/sponsors/organisers/members and club officials without threats of violence towards them.
Having your heart in the right place is of no relevance if you are prepared to ignore paid financial members, deliberately attack individuals, refuse to act on governance issues, not be transparent, and have affiliated clubs pull out of MNZ.
For the reasons expressed above I urge all MNZ members to vote and may the best man win, whomever they collectively consider that to be.
Yes, please everyone VOTE!!
Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??
