OMVA Swap Meet & AGM March 12th 2016

[Les Fisher]

The message says the meeting will start between 11:00 and 12:00 not 11:00. We can start the meeting anytime the majority wants. My thought was if we wait until say 1:00, many may not stay. The club is to serve all of us, so if we want to start later then it will! In so far as travel distance I have no issue with driving to the U.S. to a rally or swap meet. I do understand that I may not be norm. So if the club would like to have a swap meet or rally in a different area of Ontario then, as long as someone wants to run it I am sure the other executive members would behind it. We would need to approve the date and location. I do think Barry's place would be a great place to hold a swap meet ! Lol.

As It turns out the hall is rented until 12:00 noon. It has always been rented until 12:00 noon. So the AGM will start shortly after 11:00. Sorry for any confusion this may cause, but we need to have an AGM to allow the executive to move forward on our behalf.
Thanks.

Just a thought, since the Hall is rented only until Noon, could the AGM not take place in the Lounge at the Legion? I am sure the bar there would be more than happy to have a few extra Customers...

Further to this post, are vendors expected to:
1) pack up prior to the AGM? or
2) pack up after the AGM?
Is the meeting to be held in the same hall where the swap meet is being conducted or elsewhere, eg meeting room at the Legion?
If packing up after the meeting is the option and/or leaving the hall unattended, will security be provided for all the tables that are left unattended during the meeting?

Hi Stuart

There is no confusing part. We must have an AGM as it is required as per our bylaws and to confirm the new executive. The meeting will start between 11:00 and 12:00 as the hall is only rented as per usual until 12:00. If we have the meeting at another time and date, few would show up. As in other years, there is a mass exodus before 12:00 anyway.

You are correct, Peter is the point of contact for the event. He can be reached by PM through this forum.

I hope this helps. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sat. March 12.

Barry,
You are correct. Perhaps the timing and venue may be off for many members of OMVA, but all are entitled to vote on the executive and express their wishes and motion for which direction they consider OMVA should proceed, for the benefit of all members.

Looks as though there is a lot to get done in the 30 minute meeting but wondering if some discussion about Aquino Tank Day should be included. The invitation for OMVA members to attend with vehicles is a great opportunity to participate in a very unique and well organized event that would be a rewarding experience for all. For those OMVA members who plan on being there with or without vehicles, perhaps an organized or more visible presence should be considered.
Cheers, Terry.
