Tsunami Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) well tell us mate, ... What is a typical agenda?... Genuine questionDifficult to be correct in any one year, as there are always major issues which appear possibly only for that year. An example being the introduction of the Honda engine which out of a three day AGM took 1.5 days including a near 10pm finish. George and I took turns to stay for the late shift. First morning is finalising outstanding items from the year and summarising things including asst list for each club and issue of Green sheet averages. A general session after lunch with a splitting of delegates into the two league to discuss there own business. At regular periods the two leagues come together to harmonise the rules to agree the formats for the following year. Compilation of leagues with requests to change leagues is another item. Marketing considerations, and rule changes discussed either separately or together depending on the issue. Final day to summarise events and prepare a Press release for release. But certain promoters manage to disobey the request to wait for the official release. Most years the race was won by GDwell tell us mate, ... What is a typical agenda?... Genuine questionJust written a list to try and explain what goes on and kill the unqualified and stupid thought of it being a pissup for three days. Done if on my iPad and just lost the bloody lot. Talk to you on Sunday if you like. Saved the last para, saved it and the original piece appears brilliant.

Saying pi55 up is tounge in cheek really, but not much seems to change to the paying public year on year... Apart from higher prices, dafter rules, weakened teams and more and more people becoming disillusioned with the way it's run, and eventually walking away sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from higher prices, dafter rules, weakened teams and more and more people becoming disillusioned with the way it's run, and eventually walking away sadly. There is a lot of serious discussion that goes on, remember that there is one, possibly two, seminars before the AGM to try and get a concenus, so that the AGM should be for voting on issues/ decisions and only fine tuning. But as you would expect after agreements come second thoughts, and sometimes completely new issues and decisions which have to be re- discussed. In business you usually get ongoing weekly contact and decisions reviewed. In speedway the AGM is basically a one off to get it right. You might attend monthly council meetings, but the decisions of how the sport is to be run by are discussed and agreed when everyone is there at the AGM. One other point is that some promoters and their families don't get a holiday during the season, and stay on at the venue with their families. Doesn't happen much now as the AGM's are usually held in this country rather than Lanzaroti, Tenerife,etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Monday (unless you are meeting up on Sunday?!). Perhaps now there are more 'Northern' teams, someone can propose that the 4TT Qualifiers are brought back and scrap the 'Pre-season' League Cup? Also good to see the word "scrapped" was incorrect, at least in the terms of the season will be complete, if not the communication between club and press.

Yes, but I will still be at the track Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
