New OxVox Commitee!

[Jem]

Hi all

An email has been sent to members today detailing the members who’ll be joining your OxVox committee at the AGM on the 28th April.

There are personal profiles (and pictures!) of the new guys in the email

There will not be a need for an election as the 4 new people will replace the 4 who are stepping down.

They really are excellent ‘recruits’ who’ll bring new skills and thinking to The Trust.

I’m personally thrilled that we have managed to bring on board such an array of talent and delighted that they put themselves forward and are prepared to work on behalf of members and contribute to the continued success of OUFC and OxVox.

Exciting times!

Cheers

Jem

COYY’s!

If you're a member and haven't received the email let us know - easiest way is to send me a PM on here or email me at trev.lambert@gmail.com and I'll check out what's going on.

Thank you to all who are stepping up, and thanks also for the hard work and dedication shown by those who are stepping down.

Not quite sure how you get any work done given your post rate on here ?.

Alleluia!!

Wishing all new Comittee members all the best for the future, Especially happy that Dave T is involved, not only is he good looking, he talks a lot of sense. I do like a bit of passion.

Wes Harrison in particular appears to have the correct professional skills and experience to make a positive impact with regards to the ongoing stadium debarcle.

Paul and SImon, don't know them, but they too appear to be bringing a comprehensive skillbase with them.

Onwards and upwards.

Congratulations Dave T. It’s refreshing to see that you have stepped forward to serve. It’s even more refreshing to know that your posts will reduce as you will now have collective responsibility and rules to follow. As for your photo we should have been given a pre watershed alert before it was published so early in the day and at a time most will be taking in refreshments.

Blo*** hell Dave T thought you were retired the amount of posts you put on here and Twitter. Looking like a good mix of candidates who have put themselves forward and I wish them well in the future.

It’s great to see how a perceived threat of standing by some, encourages others to step forward. I look forward to seeing who and how many are now co-opted onto the committee as it’s looks like at least one (Jemma Hayward) will be, even though she inferred that time pressures was a reason for stepping down. If this had not been the case, then there would have been an election, which has now been avoided.

Hence why nearly all my posts are in the evening [emoji6] no where near top poster these days

Disappointing - like many posters on here I'll be expecting at least a 25/8 commitment to Oxvox.

Seriously though, all the best on the Committee.

 

[Jason N]

Good Luck chaps.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

My email says Keith Hathaway is standing but there is a picture of Simon Hathaway.

Let’s hope it’s the latter

Didn’t realise that was an actual photo of you on here mate, but congratulations for stepping up, takes some balls.

Who the hell voted this lot in? Shambles!

It is disappointing that you didnt stand as you are clearly a bright guy and have very strong views about Oxvox should be run.

It's the latter.

Although I now appear to have a new nickname!

 

[JuanPabloRaponi]

Right from the point of appointment, you have five days to sort the stadium, get a full and comprehensive business plan from Tiger signed with his own blood and scream to high heaven when you think the club needs challenging (because that will work instead of calm relationship building and behind the scenes negotiation).

If you can't achieve that then I'm afraid you have failed and somebody else needs to take over!

 

[horseman]

I hope you're all on the next flight for an immediate meeting with Tiger, there may be a vacant seat in First Class as a certain poster has a meeting with his Bookmaker.

 

[Trevor L]

It's the latter.

Mea culpa.

Welcome Simon!

Happens to the best of us, mind - as the club headline 'Reaction: Robinson on Charlton' over last night's match story illustrates. Though it will no doubt be changed as soon as it's spotted.

So far I've heard of 4 'non-deliveries' and I've replied to each - any more pls let me know.

 

[Sarge]

Idve voted for you @Dave T ....a button badge would've sufficed

Open and transparent at all times. That’s all I ask.

Just one slight query/concern........ if the person who stepped down, therefore avoiding the membership getting a vote on the individuals standing, is then co-opted back on to the committee will the membership get any sort of say, or have the rules just been "utilised" to avoid a vote?

That’s a valid point. I’ll try and explain!

The full membership allowed under the ‘rules’ is 10. 4 people have stepped down and we’ve had 4 members put there names forward, so on this occasion, there is no need for an election.

Once the new committee has been formed, the first task is to elect, a chair, a vice chair, a secretary and a treasurer. Once these roles have been agreed, the committee can then, if they wish, co-opt people to support the committee.

At the moment there is only one co-opted member - Stewart Donald.

Due to work/time pressures, Jemma will step away from the committee, but has offered to take a co-opted role. Personally, as with Stewart, I hope the new committee take them both up on there offers to continue to support the Trust. But that will be the new committees decision.

Co-opting does not require the membership to vote in any sort of election.

The differences between full membership of the committee and co-optees, are that committee members invite them to attend meetings as and when required and the co-opted members do not have a committee vote on decisions (but can/do obviously advise).

Hope that makes sense, but do say if it doesn’t?!

Cheers

@Jem - Does that mean that you may not be continuing as Chairman? If so that would be a great shame as I think many fans will miss you in that role.

I’m definitely stepping down Jason.

The people coming on are great and the guys staying are experienced and superb!

OxVox will be absolutely fine and continue to go from strength to strength!

Cheers!
