I am saddened to concede that TATOC was right on one point; MRL proposal can be called “Groundbreaking”.
The MacDonald proposal is groundbreakingly sick and so, so twisted.
When you consider the investigation carried out by one of the apostles of the MacDonalds MRL Owners Group (temporary committee) see below:-
TATOC say its ground breaking. I can confirm that every member of the TCA unanimously confirm that they feel the people who have put this proposal together, the committees who have considered it and proposed others adopt it are very ill indeed. They are perpetrating a spectacular wrong which in truth leaves me and many others speechless.
Please consider this tit bit from the Owners Against MRL Facebook page. This research has been carried out by Mr Robert Webber and he has kindly shared it with everyone. Mr Webber has his own opinions on the MRL changes and hopes that both the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ camp can consider the actual wording of one of the changes in the alterations in the constitutions. The owners are dealing with a company who will do anything to get what they want and will do anything to keep what was your asset for ever.
Elmers Court constitution amendments
Mr Webber writes:-
One ponders the point of having a Committee after the big change that is occurring in many clubs.
Article 32 of the new Elmers Court Constitution allows for changes to the Constitution to be carried out, which is what existed previously – what has been significantly added is the phrase “and shall also require the CONSENT of the Founder Member (i.e. MRL) if it involves a change to the rights and/or obligations of the Founder Member”.
What this means is that, whereas previously the Committee could choose to kick MRL out as the Managing Company if they so chose (like Loch Rannoch did), or the members could seek to change the Constitution of the Club to improve their rights by attaining a 75% majority of the votes cast, NOW, having achieved the required majority they have another hurdle to negotiate – they have to ask MRLs permission before making any changes!
This means that, in reality, except in matters of debt liability, the committees of the future will be subservient to MRL and will have to gain their consent before carrying out any substantive changes to how the club operates.
Another illustration of how MRL have manipulated the new Constitution to give themselves greater powers in the future and consigning the committee to be the “whipping boys” of their future mismanagement!
Consumers may recall that TATOC were in attendance at the MRL Road Show, were aware that MRL had considered and planned this groundbreaking proposal and stated that they (TATOC) would support MRL.
And you wonder why the Citizens Advice Bureau have acted the way they have.
It’s sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The consumers have a break from the spin now , they have a chance to make a change. Grasp the good work which is being done and take back you rights.
Are you going to help us to stop this?????
