Well it's certainly not too late for him to accept his multiple nominations ... !!!!

No-ones stuck with these roles for life!! You can get involved for 12 months and then hand on the role or keep at it. Great opportunity to get involved and see what can be achieved ...

What do ya reckon anthony, can we twist your arm to at least accept your nomination(s)!!

Now I'll really turn it around in circles.
Clyde (my other half) wants to have a go at President. He's only a learner windsurfer and feels totally intimidated by us cool do windsurfers, this would be a great way of getting him involved and feeling more comfortable about it all. And he wants to see better ways of getting beginners involved.
He's has so much energy and drive for a President role. He was the driving force for the YMCA in Glenorchy years ago, he bought it up from scratch, ended up with 30 teams in all sorts of sports, organised a committee, had it running to it's maximum potential and this he would do for Windsurfing Tas. I guarantee it, man he has energy!!!
So I nominate Clyde as well and he accepts already.
See Anthony your never too old.....your more an inspiration!

I was going to say exactly that. But then I thought maybe Clyde nominated himself, Kazz seconded it, then he accepted his nomination.
Or can't you nominate yourself?
Damn protocols.
But yes, it's great to see someone enthusiastic about the role.

I will add my vote for Clyde. It would be great to get more beginners involved in the sport.

It is great to see the discussions and nominations continue ...

At the moment we have the following accepted nominations:
President
Russell (nominated by Karen, seconded by Anthony)
Clyde (nominated by Karen, seconded by Johno)

Treasurer
Karen (nominated by Muzza, seconded by Anthony)

We also have the following nominations, but so far not accepted:
President
Anthony (nominated by Fos, seconded by Perks)
Kaleb (nominated by Anthony, seconded by Karen)

Treasurer
Damian (nominated by Karen, seconded by Anthony)

When we're done, accepted nominations will be considered by the WT committee and put to the vote (where there is more than one nomination).

And Easty, you can definitely nominate yourself ... just need to have someone back you up!!

Eh? No you read it wrong - I was just wondering if Clyde nominated himself and Kaz seconded it, or if Kaz was nominating him and it needed to be seconded. All sorted though.

What's the procedure now guys, looks like we've run out of steam on this one, is it now up to the committee to vote or is there a general meeting, if there is I'll come along provided there's beer on the tap

At this stage, if we think there isn't likely to be any more nominations or nominated people accepting their nomination, then the WT committee will put it to the vote via email. There are many times in the past where the committee needs to voice their opinion on an issue, often in order to put forward the WT view on an AWA related matter, and the vote works well!! Looks like it will be just for the position of President, with only one successful nomination for treasurer.

We can still leave this open for further discussion, at least for a few more days ...

Thanks for everyones input so far ...

Hi Karen,

All office bearers, including Committee Member positions, were held over from the previous year. However, we did have two positions become vacant, President and Treasurer, resulting in the current situation:



While we do appear to have quite a number of positions, it is the "Committee" who vote on issues, etc.

I nominate Kaleb as the wavesailing co ordinator seeing Simon abandoned us. Or if Kaleb doesn't want to surely Anthony will do that??

I second Anthony for the Wavesailing Coordinator.

As for this Simon Hanson bloke; I think he used to be mates with a few people down here in Tassie, but that was a long time ago, in a land before Latte.
Heres a photo of me and my friend Cleo.

I reckon that would be pretty sensible to remove no-face (Simon) from the list of Office Bearers and include someone currently active in wavesailing.

The best way to tackle this may be for individual office bearers to make their positions made available for re-election if they so wish. In the case of Simon, who has left the state, we can put his position up for re-elction on his behalf.

Given the amount of enthusiasm currently out there for wavesailing, we could quite easily have two wavesailing coordinators! This would allow an exchange of ideas (and comments on the forum's!!) on ways to get more wavesailors to become members and attend events and social gatherings.

Anthony Houston and Kaleb Smith both fit the bill. At the moment we have a Anthony nominated, so I'll second that and also nominate Kaleb to jointly fill this position.

Also, I'm down as website coordinator, but would like to step-down and nominate David (FoS) for this position. Dave's already done a massive amount in this area and can hopefully continue to contribute ...

That's the idea Dave, keep Kalub and Anthony busy organising wave events then we could have a change to win one. Ok...Yes... we have had a bit of time out of the waves and don't have five or six fins on our wave boards; but we would be good at staying away from the critical section and logging some of the fastest runs down the line. I think that how I remember that you wave sail??


cheers Russ

I vote for Kalub and Anthony and lets get some fun wave events going.

And I vote for the wind to blow and nice waves for the days that Anthony & Kaleb organise wavesailing events.
Great idea for the other Dave to be web coordinator, maybe the Tassie section can finally be upgraded on the AWA site.

Kaleb, your pic would look better if you blanked out your face as well, the only good looking one is your friend.
i'm sure kaleb and I could jointly coordinate wave sailing so long as he keeps out of my way.
Russ, great idea having a fun day at carlton next weekend. Kaleb, we could apply a bit of pressure on the new 'will be if she's a good girl' treasurer for s...loads of money for the sausages, beer and cold turkeys so we can get really really p...... while we wait for hours for the wind that won't come.
Is that how it works?? How much money have we in the kitty? have to remember wave sailors drink more than speed sailors.
