Getting as many members opinions as possible is clearly a good thing when canvassing opinion as we are here. So i dont dispute that point you make Simon.
As a club with a rapidly growing membership we are going to have issues that we want to discuss and this is one way of doing that.
I have just had a look at the most recent list of members that i have and there are 2 that do not have e-mail addresses. I would conclude from that that the vast majority of the membership do have access to a computer and the internet. I dare say that some havent got round to registering for the forum and some simply arent interested.
We should continue to encourage people to use the forum but be aware that there are still some members who are not aware of the forum.We should all encourage people to use the forum as a way of keeping in touch with what the club is up to.
In the meantime surely this is a good way of geting an idea of how the club thinks on any given subject.
Simon do you have any suggestions how else we can canvass opinion on issues that arise given that we have nearly 50 members now ?

Using the forum to canvass opinion is great but to change precedent via the forum without a meeting to discuss, would in my opinion be wrong.If after so many months of the forum being up and running and every club member has been given every chance to join, then I would go along with the forum being the primary means of gauging club members views, which could then be acted on accordingly.

If my memory serves me correctly, I was under the impression that everyone who has an email address (which leaves only 2 members potentially without a pc) was emailed the link about the forum when it was set up? Therefore they have had the opportunity to join surely?
