Doesn’t that demonstrate that they are listening to members and responding appropriately - even when some of the vitriol directed against them on this forum hasn’t looked appropriate?
Have you read this thread from the start?
They didn't fully inform members of the vote, it was about 2inches in British Horse, which would cost about £150 in advertising space. ( this has just given me an idea)
There was no information on the website, until the 4/10
There was no information on the BHS facebook page.
So when people finally realised the very small envelope hidden between the rest of the mailshot that was actually important, what information was given to inform people about the reason for the changes? None.
FAQ's have now been put on the website, on the 11/12. They raise more questions than they answer.
Most of the BHS's income comes from their members, whether you support how it is run or not, members should be kept fully informed of proposed changes, not through a last minute mailing, for a vote after Christmas. The fact this actually complies with a previous change is actually disgraceful, so apart from not emailing people where they have email addresses on file they have not broke their rules.
So everyone ring and give them your email address, so they haven't got that excuse.
There is no longer a AGM, so being able to call an EGM is the only way members will get the opportunity to voice their opinions. This is going to be made more difficult to call, in fact it does not even seem clear cut how many members will be need. Will it be a % of voting members, or the total membership.
This whole fiasco shows a lack of respect for members who provide most of the societies income and in turn employees salaries. The membership is what makes up the society and the intension seems to be to further disenfranchise it.
