So we might see something in two months but if not, definatelly within 6 months?
In between my currently onerous work commitments I hope to include a write up from the AGM. I am working to get the next QB to the membership before, that's before, Christmas, ie. in 6 weeks time. In order to do this it must be at the printers very soon to allow for the longer, and very busy, overseas mail times. If I fail in this the Spring QB will be out at the end of March which is 3 months and 6 weeks away, not 6 months ( just to be pedantic! )
The suggestion of secrecy I find completely offensive. The AGM report has always been included in the QB so the total membership can read it, rather than just the 30% who use the forum. I feel it would be unfair if "digital" members read before "analogue" ones. The AGM dates are published in every QB leading up to the event and ALL members are welcome to attend, ask for a topic to be discussed, or put themselves forward for a position on the committee. In fact, we still have the position of Events Secretary to be filled.......any takers?
Do you have a particular topic in mind you are interested in Peter?

I am currently a sitting Chairman for our local school Board of Trustees, and the Chairman for the Foursquare Committee (my business group) and none of the minutes from these organisations meetings are published online. They are all presented to the members in hard copy only.
I think sometimes we forget that this forum is exactly that, a forum for discussion on all things LC. I personally don't think that things like the minutes that may have sensitive information relating to financials etc should be displayed here for all and sundry to see.
My opinion only...

Sorry Mark, on this one we disagree. I am also on a number of comittees of Car clubs, Orchid societies and trade organisations. Minutes of AGMs are generaly available but many societies have monthly newsletters. LCr is a little different. It has a wordwide membership. I would be very happy to receive QB via email, saving the Register considerable amout of money. This may encourage more people to use the forum.
Geoff, I sent an email to our president on 5/10/10 requesting certain matters be adressed at the AGM. In the email I stated that I appreciated that this may be against protocol but its a sad state of affairs if a foreign member cannot ask a question of LCR via our chairman.
While this email has not been acknowledged, I would hope that its contents may have been noted.
There are some matters that I am particularly interested in, particularly pertaining to a member of LCR who has been expelled.
I'm sure this is no secret. I'd also like to know who has been elected, how many people attended, what was discussed, what was resolved, but it seems I will have to wait unless someone who attended choses to discuss some matters on this forum.
I do think its sad that onlt 30% of members participate and I was with 9 LC owners today and I'd venture that no more than 2-3 are LCR members.

Remember it is a unpaid committee who probably also have a life and a need to work for a living.If you cant make the AGM then you have to wait for the mag to come out ,if the AGM results was put on this site no doubt pages of non Cortina views would be typed before the brains were engaged and the committee would have to waste more time on this forum or close it down.
And don't think that has not passed through there minds

Any feedback as to why the other six are not members would be useful.

Pete, of the 639 forum members only 199 are or have been paid up LCR members.
One of the outstanding tasks is for Louis or myself to reconcile this list against the current list of LCR members. Then we will have a more accurate idea of how many current LCR members use the forum.

.... and therefore be in a better position to look at the distribution of things like the LCR minutes to paid up members only..... (sorry Steve, not trying to put words into your mouth, Mark)
How many people have actually attended an AGM? I hear a lot of complaining but not a lot of comittment. Understand the issues with overseas members, and perhaps some constructive suggestion on how the LCR can better engage with these would be useful.
Regardless, last year at the AGM only about a dozen showed up - and most of those were committee.
Most organisations announce the AGM, allowing members to atttend / submit items, and then publish minutes sometime afterwards. These would not be put on a forum, which is a discussion area, not a database.
