This is an extract from the SW region secretary email of 10th January to a SW region Club..
'The RPRA SW Region have considered the proposition from Paulton HS to accept the Hall report. The decision has been made by the Region not to accept the Proposition. The reasons for the decision are that the Hall report is several years old and has already been voted on and rejected by the RPRA at the previous AGM.'
So they refused to accept a proposal that had been submitted in accordance with the rules etc and refused to provide SW region members with an opportunity to vote on such a proposal. The content of the email was wrong in so many ways.
The Hall report was never rejected by the RPRA at a AGM. There was never a vote by the RPRA members on the content of the report and therefore the RPRA never had a say. What they should have said is the RPRA COUNCIL rejected it.
The region cannot have decided to not accept the proposition as the region (ie mandated delegates of clubs) have not had the opportunity to reject or accept. The region committee are NOT the region and this was a clear abuse of 'power'.

What work done by the regions will need to be done by staff ?Bowbroom wrote: Wed Feb 26, 2025 1:53 pm All should be resolved on Friday when it will be decided if the association will be managed by Council still or a president and 4 committee members and all the work previously done by regions will now be done by The CEO and his staff

You must be kidding - the EM region cant even put together an acceptable balance sheet. Strange that is when any basic club in the country can produce one.

And what a shambles the East Midlands region was, democracy wasn't carried out at that meeting. And got to say the South West meeting wasn't much better, a very poor turnout, lack of any guidance from the committee. CEO turned up at the meeting I wonder why or how many regional meetings he's turned up at around the country. For the region club's either didn't discuss this at club level at all (not interested) or couldn't be bothered to send any representation with a mandate or at least show some kind of interest .You wonder how bad things have got to get before people actually engage with this process & I've seen firsthand under the current system how bad it really is.
