1. Yes we are in discussions with some of the Board and as soon as we achieve consensus with that group the entire membership will be advised. 2. The club is NOT owned by AFF.com.au - it is a registered entity in it's own right with a caretaker P/O pending finalisation of a formal structure. Nothing more sinsiter than that. 3. All but one (as I have stated in the other thread) will be allowed to participate here if they so wish and if they wish to participate in the elections (assuming they are held here and not elsewhere) they will need to apply to rejoin the forum. 4. They will need to be able to view this site to vote unless we find some mechanism (email for example) to allow them to vote although that is obviously open to potential abuse. The whole topic may well be rhetorical should the existing informal board decide to remove the club association from this forum so perhaps we should all await a decision from that body before continuing to theorise further. Regards Russ

We have been castigated by some in this thread (yourself included) for taking an involvement that was unwanted so to suggest that we should continue to be involved subsequent to the memebrs (or their informal representatives) deciding to move is to contradict that stated view. Russ

DJL351 - what kind of situation do you have in mind where a clubmember would be in the position where they get sued for something and the rest of the club is able to successfully defend the sued individual?

An unauthorized third party subverting the club's leadership by independently incorporating it is hardly a molehill. |

Now, I know your thinking... the drivers 3rd party etc will cover it. Could do, but if they (the insurance company) find out you were party of a club/group, they can worm their way out of paying etc. The FPV-Tickford Club of WA obtains a CAMS permit for every and any cruise/event we do/run. Events we attend, such as the All Ford Day etc, are covered by their Public Liability Insurance.

The current admin team have all been involved in these discussions throughout the entire process as have the moderators at various stages. MY offer to you and your board in the board area has been made without the full consultation of my Board as they are not all presently available but I have exercised the authority they provide me as Chairman to do so.

to notify Joe Bloggs (general public) that the BBQ plate could be hot and not to touch. Yes "American" it is, but it is unfortunately the way of the world.

I fail to see what you're asking - re: restrictions on membership? Yes, our members are restricted to vehicles defined in our constitution.

In creating the constitution, the committee/board & members would/could allow membership however they want.

Perhaps suggestions from yourself and other disgruntled members would help? Or is it a case of too far gone and you want to leave? Leave the political mumbo jumbo and perhaps getting to the point is best as this thread will never end.

AFF should never of taken this step it was not their club to register this club as stated before no doubt AFF was hosting forums for the club out of good will and how the club grows is really none of their business maybe in the best interest but they shouldn't have a say in taking it this direction. I think they have ruined the E-series Owners club atmosphear all for their own power and glory this is a complete dog act and makes AFF look like total . I can understand that they needed to moderate these forums as they need to protect the over all Forums but doing this the members involded are complete **** *****!!

I'm Admin on another forum where members have been bad mouthing AFF, i wasnt partaking in that bad mouthing, but being guilty by association my moderator status was removed. why should it be any different for the rest? I've got no problems with 99% of the people on this site, but an AFF Moderators is going to be bias towards the club staying on AFF more then someone not in that position. It was more aimed at the Eseries mods then anyone else.
