Yes, very head in the sand attitude

The Chairman responds ....

One comment from Simon Tremain that leaps out is his concern about the relationship between the Chairman and the CEO.
There is no embellishment of his opinion on this, so you would have to suspect he thinks it is either (1) too buddy-buddy or (2) strained.

Six clubs have successfully requested a special general meeting of the HBRU.
The meeting on 1 June will see the clubs nominate applicants for two directors positions on the Board to be elected by the clubs, and nominate applicants for two co-opted directors to the Board to be elected by the Board.
Should be interesting.

Hawke's Bay Rugby Football Union chairman Brendan Mahony is rapt with the enthusiasm being generated as a possible constitutional review of his organisation looms. "It's good to hear about the meeting. Hopefully some good candidates for the vacancies on our board of directors will come out of it. If the club delegates want a constitutional review I'm happy for one. Obviously it's not something which can be done over night but it can be done," Mahony said.Weird. I thought Randell and co resigned because, among other things, Mahony didn't want such a review? Didn't he call it a "coup" attempt? And now he's happy for one? That last sentence of the quote: stalling tactic? Or is that just my lack of faith in the chairman ...?
Anyway, first meeting tonight.

The two Directors elected to the Board by the clubs at the Special General Meeting this evening were Mark Sowman (nominated by Hastings RS) and Mark Hamilton (nominated by Tech OB).
There were eight candidates for the first Director.
Mark Sowman was the first elected, which took three ballots. He polled the highest on all three, getting the required majority vote (51+%) on the third ballot.
That made seven candidates for the second Director.
Mark Hamilton was the second elected, which took two ballots. He polled highest on both ballots, getting the majority (51+%) on the second ballot.
The only woman candidate - Mavis Mullins - was very well supported. She polled second on all five ballots.
She will now be one of eight candidates for the two appointed Directors to the Board, who will be interviewed by the Board for selection by the Board to the Board. Would be a surprise if she does not get appointed after the, basically, third highest backing by the clubs tonight. She is on the Board of Two Degrees, replacing Bill Osborne in 2013.
