Minutes of Meeting to Discuss OPA Committee (added 12/7/2009) Contact: Rachel Dare

 

Meeting to discuss the OP Association Committee
Cricket Pavilion, Pocklington School
Sunday 21st June 2009 at 10.00am
 
 
Minutes
 
The meeting was called by Rachel Dare, OP Liaison Officer, and Andrew Dawes, Deputy Headmaster, to facilitate nominations of OPs for committee membership. This was necessary as the existing committee was standing down and Mark East’s letter to OPs of March 2009 had not flushed out any firm nominations. 
 
The meeting, kindly chaired by OP Keith Appelbee, was an open meeting of OPs who had shown some interest in helping the committee to move forward. It was not a formal executive committee meeting.
 
In attendance were: Rachel Dare (OP Liaison Officer), Andrew Dawes (Deputy Headmaster), Andrew Wilson (1999), Henry Mitchell (2002), Sandy Mitchell (2000), Beth Goodliff (née Binks, 2000), David Moore (1982), Tom Nash (1977), Bryan Scaife (past President, 1946) and Keith Appelbee (past President, 1950). Other interested parties who were not able to attend the meeting were: Duncan Goodyear (1985), Jess Farmer (2000), Simon Spence (1981), Mark Longley (1979) and Chris Hoggard (1983).
 
At the meeting a number of individuals declared their willingness to take on committee positions. In accordance with the constitution each was nominated by an existing OP and seconded by two others. All positions were unopposed. A table summarising the process is set out below:

The job of Secretary is vacant but this function is currently being done by Rachel Dare. It was agreed that it probably makes sense for the OP Liaison Officer to do this function in the future but this would obviously require a change to the standing constitution which the new committee will consider. 
 
Keith Appelbee suggested that all past presidents should also be members of the committee. Andrew Dawes has since pointed out that the existing constitution only permits the immediate former president to be part of the committee. Again any change would need to be considered by the new committee.
 
At lunch Tom Nash and Andrew Wilson were announced by Rachel as the new President and Vice.  OPs in attendance were very pleased that the vacuum had been filled by two strong characters. No other committee members were publically announced.

After-note:
Subsequently to the meeting, Mark Longley expressed his willingness to take on the role of Treasurer. He was nominated by Tom Nash and seconded by Andrew Wilson and Henry Mitchell. As no other candidates for this position were forthcoming, Mark Longley was duly elected unopposed.
