MNZ politics. Love it or hate it, we NEED it!

[oyster]

Hopefully everybody is aware the MNZ board is getting 4 members elected this year. 2 off road, 2 on road. One of each from north/south island. It all sounds a bit boring but it's very important the we choose good candidates, nominate them, vote for them and most importantly SUPPORT them when they get elected.

See the MNZ site for details. The cutoff for nominations is 31st March.

It's crucial that we, the riders choose the best people to manage our sport. If we "leave it someone else" we'll get the quality our apathy deserves. Probably some well meaning but thoroughly "well past used by date" medal wearing, self important tosser with affiliations to some obscure old boy networks. Sound scary? It could happen. So get moving and get a HIGH QUALITY election process underway.

Once the candidates are finalised, all their details and voting forms go out to EVERY member. Make sure EVERY member sends one back!

And let's get some good old electioneering debate underway, so MNZ old and new KNOW WHAT WE WANT.

Let it rip, but remember, keep it CLEAN and POSITIVE

I had a quick look but couldn't find it, where on the MNZ site is it?

[White trash]

Good luck finding anything on the MNZ website.

Good post Oyster, cheers for drawing our attention the situation. I can't help but wonder why MNZ has not advised all it's members that this is going on? Especially now that's there's only 6 days untill nominations close.

QUESTION ASKED- QUESTION AWNSERED EASY REALLY

Hi Shaun

With regards to notification of vacancies for the Board, this was done as per our Constitution and advertised on the MNZ website, we also sent out notification to every Club and Official by way of circular.

There was some info about it in an agm pack thing that came out ages ago from my hazy memory.
Oyster is right, it is important to be pro-active, I'm kicking myself a wee bit for not having a good look at it.

[FROSTY:Me]

Just a point here --WHO nominates these officials ?
What Im saying here is we bitch and moan that "they" aren't doing a goood job etc --Isn't it about time we organised nomination of someone that maybee has the ROAD race peoples best interests at heart.
Keeping in mind that these are unpaid positions.
If he wasn't so busy I'd love to nominate gremlin

[oyster]

Sorry guys, I should've posted this up earlier. This info has been on the MNZ site for a while now, but, of course there's no garantee everyone gets to know of it.
Over the last month or so down south we've "spread the word" around, with the view that if we can think of people that might do this job really well, then tap them on the shoulder.... Then of course, support them. It's that the best people are already pretty busy, and reasonably, they see such an appointment as getting a target painted on their back on day one. Not pretty.
So, you see our job as a community. Find someone, support them.

When a few us like minded ones travelled around NI Nationals we were on the lookout for someone up there as a good nomination. It's not the good people that are scarce, but someone keen to do it. In the south we have a good candidate we think, and we've certainly discussed it that he'll get our full support. Now it up to the northerners (urgently) to get someone too. Ideally someone up to date with the national / international "quality" end of Road Racing, so as to compliment our very good, but more club / development level person we have in mind for the south.

For good of our sport please get to it!

And it you have any questions, Vicky Simm is outstanding (as always) in answering detailed quetions.

I recall Shaun saying many times "we need an effective rep in MNZ, one who really relates to the riders concerns" Shaun, now is the chance!
