Re: Email to all voting members

i am with you craig. i have no interest in polatics and all that pointless stuff. it is a club that is being taken too far. All i want is for everyone to be friends and enjoy robots. it pretty simple really when you think about it.

It€™s a club for people, who make and fight robots, help put on shows for the public and enjoy each other€™s company.

Simple until you start to think of the bigger picture. Our so-called little 'glee club' involves both roboteers and EO's doing something that is dangerous. It is also a complex pastime that needs it collective of experience and expertise to make it as safe as possible for the likes of people already in the sport and for those who are starting out or aspire to do what we do. To this end we all have a responsibility for everyone to make and keep it safe as possible while at the same time being entertaining.
All that cannot be done haphazardly so out of this the FRA was born (cue Powerpuff Girls theme tune ) - an organisation started and run by us - the roboteers. I came into this community just over 5 years ago. It wasn't long before then that you were all holding events in playgrounds and car parks - oh happy days perhaps but given the likes of what we see today in arenas - would YOU still like to be separated from it by just of bale of straw? We could still be in this situation if it wasnt for the co-ordinated effort of the ENTIRE community.
You probably havn't even got the time or the inclination to read this dissertation - the politics IS a pain in the butt however it is a necessary evil that has determined the fundamental structure of what we do and how we do it today.

Re: Email to all voting members

Well said Craig. We are all in this together, we all feed off each other FRA, EOs and Roboteers.

Re: Email to all voting members

OK here goes...... the result of the membership vote to change parts of the constitution as referred to in this announcement: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2727

Yes 36
No 1

37 votes represents just over 52% of the voting membership however with such a result, even if there was less apathy over politics, the proportion in favour would more than likely have not been much different.

The changes will now be incorporated into the constitution.

Thank you and goodnight :wink: (Anne Robinson moment there)
