I am not sure whether Mrs President is answering questions but here goes anyway.

Sandra,

In your Presidents report you state under Board Charter:
"This has been a year with a focus on ensuring as the Board we provide effective leadership and direction for the Sport."

You then go on to talk about working on a Charter.

Once again Sandra we seem to have Too litle Too late.

You indicate, this has gone on all year. However it is my understanding the FIRST meeting for the WORKING party is TOMORROW, a forthnight before the AGM.

Could Mrs President or someone else please confirm whether this is true.

[Maido]

Just one quick question for Jim, I am posting this OBO of team Southland Honda,

Jim, if elected president, will you still be cooking breakfasts during the national road race series?

Thanks
Jeremy Holmes

Jim ,Thanks for your offer,
i got a spare from another club member .quicker than trying to get office to answer phone.
I havnt met you or the current President but you got my vote ,because you
seem like a person who can move on .
i have been looking at some web sites and on the theory that attack is the best form of defence , the current administration must have a lot they really dont want you and other members to find out about.
I also have a question as some one fairly new to this game,
There is more than a few license holders without voting papers, just talking to people makes you aware how many,
yet the MNZ WEBSITE makes it sound like only a few,
my question which i would like the President to answer is one i already asked,
who in the office is taking responsibility for this and what censure or warning are they being given.
This is far from acceptible error ,so what is happening.

[suzuki mama]

The Current President while quick to rush into a vitriolic attack over an e-mail which Jim T sent out and which we have all , ,now seen on various web sites posted by Jim i think ,and it seemed very reasonable to me ,has been very slow to answer other questions posted on this and holeshot one might think shes avoiding them . in view with the latest stuff up by the office there appears to be no taking any responsibiity by anyone , in the interests of transparency perhaps she could find the time to tell the members whats being done, i agree with kawasaki king the web site makes it look minor its not .
What are the board doing to get answers on this one,

[kawasaki king]

Can any of the candidates confirm whether the office has contacted then re the voting fiasco and if any of them were offered after the Presidents e-mail was sent out a copy of the same e.-mail list.
which im sure it was in the interests of everything being above board,just be nice to have it confirmed.

Mrs & Mrs Holmes and Young Jeremy,

If I miss out and with Paul Stewart gone, I am not sure there will be a ROAD RACE Championship.

So I am not promising anything in that area.

But back to things Positive.

There are FIVE DAYS left till VOTING CLOSES

VOTE FOR CHANGE

Sorry not sure what is being done re: VOTING PAPERS

I have certainly not been offered the email list.

BUT AS I SAID ABOVE:

LETS LOOK FORWARD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE VOTING PAPERS. DOWN LOAD SOME FROM MNZ'S WEBSITE, FILL THEM OUT AND SEND THEM TO THE VOTING AUDITOR.

BUT DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL THE CEO AND CONFIRM WHAT YOU ARE DOING.


VOTE FOR CHANGE

JIM TUCKERMAN

An election either brings out the best or the worst in people

Regretfully i think the present incumbents of the purple circle that is the Board and Administration have reached an all time low.

As far as i am aware the web master and some of the office staff are the only ones who can post on mnz web- site ,so the alteration to the incumbent presidents profile originated from a very narrow source.

However on looking at the email we received it was poorly presented unless ours was the only one with bad spelling and inverted vs down the side and had the look of a last minute thrown together thing ,

Could this be as described by one license holder as the dance of the desperates.

or are we going to find that shock horror come monday the Board and President denying any knowledge and attempt to whip up another smokescreen like we so often get at Agm time.

I sincerely hope not ,there are to many instances now of the unprofessional nature of the Office and Board , how many members are still waiting for their voting packs
Regretfully i have a bad feeling about this email, the members have been misled in the past

i would hate to think someone in office or her associates would send this out then try to blame an opponent.

Our club for one is not as trusting as we were 2 years ago

Note the bit about appointing a auditor and a voting auditor
http://www.motorcyclingnz.co.nz/down...of_Meeting.pdf

[suzuki mama]

the voting Auditor is quote to be independant to ,not employed by or have an interest in.

Given that it appears in the financial statement that our voting Auditor is employed by mnz and has signed off the accounts,there is no way she can be called independant, she has an existing relationship with the office,
given also that members received e-mails from the office presenting only one candidates view pointand given the general straight out nastiness of the Presidents campaign , this election has been far from above board .hopefully the wishes of the members for change will be reflected in the results.

Perhaps each club might like to keep a note of numbers voting and compare them to votes counted

and can the office confirm the question some members have been asking for over 12 months re the voting auditor working for mnz

[BJT666]

Things seem to have gone quiet.

Has anyone seen this week's addition of BikeTV.
I am told it contains an interview with Sandra Perry, proclaiming how she has helped motorcycling.

It has a section on Junior Road Racing amongst others.

Personally I have to question these sort of statements, when in 2008/09 season, the current Administration was unable to help fund any young riders to Australia, but they contributed $9K to the 'Posties' Phillip Island trip.

I was also told last night that, MNZ contributes to the production of BikeTV, so the question that goes begging is:
"was the section on Sandra Perry part of MNZs contribution to the show or was it separately funded?"

Can anyone shed any light on this one, as at present it is all heresay.

My understanding is she is employed by the independent Auditors.
I do not believe for a second that any auditor would risk their reputation by rigging the vote in an election for MNZ where traditionally only a tiny portion of the eligible voters even bother to cast a vote.

I don't think questioning the professionalism and/or integrity of anyone who has had business dealings with MNZ does your cause any good.

I didn't vote last year as I had only been a member for a few weeks and had no idea who was who. I have voted this year however.

[BJT666]

Wharfy,

I don't think anyone is questioning the Auditors ability, as you point out counting 199 votes can't be hard.

However MNZ's Constitution clearly states:

The Voting Auditors shall be independent of MNZ

Oxford Dictionary definition of independent

• adjective
1 free from outside control or influence.
2 not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.
3 not connected with another; separate.

However we also understand she is MNZ's accountant, so:

1 free from outside control or influence.
Works for MNZ as accountant (?? How is that free from influence)

2 not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence.
Paid by MNZ to do accounts (at least partly dependent on MNZ for income)

3 not connected with another; separate.
Is MNZ’s accountant (how is that separate).

So go figure

I think that its the independance that is an issue here .. or maybe the lack of it to make someone independant.
