Second both Martybartfast and JackieCOriginally Posted by Maple Leaf
I can't see if anyone has seconded our retiring Chairman, Dave (The Wombles). He's far too valuable to cast adrift at this stage. So, I second him.
Isn't it amazing what you don't see, when you don't know what you're looking for?
The past is history; the future is a story yet to be told; write it well.
Im sorry if this isn't the right area but I think it would be good to know which area (location/region/county) the members reside in, although I know most of you and the areas you reside but I feel that to promote GAGB in GB it would nice to know that the Great Britain is nearly covered by a committee member or part of the GAGB set up. Does this make sense ?
Just my thoughts...
GAGB member since 2005
GAGB Committee member 2010 to 2016 (Chair 2012 to 2015)
UK Mega Event Chairman 2009 (Weston-super-Mare)
I would like to nominate Palujia
I would like to Nominate Dr.Dick&Vick Richard Mullens
Thanks for the nomination Lillian - but as Tony has pointed out - it was not my intention to stand again this year - I do not feel that I can be of much use in the new computerised world - and have no interest in the Social networks so I shall quietly fade away like the dinosuars ! to quote Douglas Adams :
"So long, and thanks for all the fish"
I will still be attending some "Megas" and Pirate Mania etc., so if any help on stands is needed - I may not be bright but I can lift heavy things

Bump...so far, I have received six avatar/photo sets. Please give me a running start toward building the ballot!
I will reply to every photo set, so if you send a photo set and do not receive a reply within 24 hours, please try resending. I do have anything with "GAGB" in the subject line whitelisted, but I am checking my Junk and SPAM folders just in case.
I have received avatar/photo sets from: Sandvika, Geocaching Womble, countrymatters, keehotee, zomblou, and The Wombles.
I have received CVs/Manifestos from countrymatters and zomblou.

I've updated the first post:
Candidates are asked to prepare a CV/manifesto (and photo/avatar).
Please email your CV/manifesto to me (mapleleaf.geocaching@yahoo.co.uk) so that I can put them in the forum once the nomination period has closed. (Please DO NOT send photo/avatar to me)
Please also send your CV/manifesto to the Returning Officer (ladybugs@geocachealaska.org) along with a photo +/- avatar so that he can prepare the ballot page in advance.

Thanks for the nomination and second (x2 ) for the committee. I'm happy to stand for election.
Whilst I have little time during weekdays, I do have time at weekends and I can contribute expertise and knowledge. I would be happy to support a new committee develop GAGB forwards.

I am afraid that as a result of the resurfacing of a problem I have with a reviewer I am currently raising the issue again with Groundspeak so I will be retracting my acceptance of my nomination to the committee.
Apologies
Matrix
Mike - I have an issue with Groundspeak too...but this has not affected my decision to stand. The GAGB should be non-partisan, and nothing to do with Groundspeak.or any other specific listing site. Please reconsider.
That is one of the reasons I am finding ot so difficult to make a decision.
Erm, it's been a long day so I may have missed it. What do you need from us manifesto/cv wise?
Apologies, I have a fried brain. Just need some brown sauce and I'm sure it will taste lovely.
Absolutely not... sorry if it came across like this. I was just wondering if there was regional committee members so that if there is a local problem I can call upon them or to promote GAGB at an event if needed..
Again sorry if this came across that I would only vote for people whom live in my regional.
After a fair bit of consideration, the answer has to be thanks for the nominations but no thanks.
I firmly believe the best thing for the GAGB would be a complete new committee.
Kehotee suggested a while ago that new blood was the answer, he is right.
The brain has returned and now seems to be working to it's normal capacity, cheers Dave :
Please can you confirm what is meant by CV/manifesto.
This is all new to me and I don't want to send in info about my shelf stacking experience in '94 whilst working in Iceland unless it's required. I did win the customer service award for July 1994 though.
You can check out last year's CVs here. Might give you an idea of what to put.

Steve, I think if you look at the chairman thread you will see what Jen and Roderick submitted as theirs.
Just a little background followed by what you'd like for the association, and what skills/experience you bring to help further that vision would be cool. (I think).
Free can of irn bru for the best one
Many thanks. Cass and Tony. I was unsure how in depth to go.
Had a nose at last years and they were very helpful.

I have thought long and hard about this and have decided to decline.
I do not think that I could serve on a committee, if elected, that may have people on it who were nominated , and elected, because of the region they live in rather than what they can bring to the GAGB.
Thanks to Tony & Lilian for the nomination/seconding. I wish the chair and the new committee good luck for the future, I hope there is less sniping from outside this year.
Looks like there is a contender for the GLAD ' www.cacheright.co.uk'
Thanks to Maple Leaf and to Clipper247 for the nomination and seconding. It was abit of a surprise! hmy:
After lots of thought and lots of discussions with my local cachers I've decided to accept my nomination stand for the committee elections.

I would like to nominate Happy Humphrey, I may not always agree with him but he does tend to see through the bull.........
I'll second Happy Humphrey. I've been tantalisingly close to seeking his Navicaches a couple of times but I don't go as far as his patch solo and the company I have kept has had other priorities!

Regrettably Happy Humphrey is unable to accept due to upcoming time pressures, but otherwise relished the prospect.
I nominate Adam Redshaw (Ukcachemag)
I would like to second Adam Redshaw aka UK CACHE MAG for a committee member. Better late than never!
