FW: [chgc-members] IMPORTANT: Invitation to Sign a Requisition for a Special General Meeting of the HGFA to vote on the recent Fee Increases.
Rob Woodward
This email from Queensland is self explanatory. If you feel so moved on the
basis of the information provided and your attitude to HGFA's proposals for
the future then sign the requisition and forward it to Greg as he details.
Collectively, individual Pilots can have an influence over the direction of
our National representative body and the direction of our sport - be
empowered!

Special General Meeting of the HGFA to vote on the recent Fee Increases.
>
> Dear HGFA Member
>
> Recently you have received a letter from the HGFA advising of very
> substantial increases in HGFA HGFA Annual Membership Fees, taking effect
> from 1 September 2008.
>
> A large number of members have expressed high dissatisfaction with these
> large fee increases and believe them to be excessive and unjustifiable.
> There is also high concern about the management effectiveness and
> direction in which the HGFA Board is taking our sport.
>
> Following an Open Forum on the HGFA Fee Increases, the Canungra Hang
> Gliding Club Inc at its Annual General Meeting together with the
> Queensland Hang Gliding Association Inc decided to jointly sponsor and
> organise this Requisition for a Special General Meeting of the Hang
> Gliding Federation of Australia (HGFA).
>
> This Requisition is supported by the Canungra Hang Gliding Club’s most
> senior and respected pilots, many of whom have been in the sport for
> more than 15 years.
>
> The Full Requisition (attached below) sets out the Purpose of the
> Special General Meeting, the Motions to be considered, and the Reasons
> for this move.
>
> In order for the Requisition to be considered by the HGFA, it needs to
> be supported by 5% of the HGFA membership providing “signed” support for
> the Requisition. This represents at least 150 members.
>
> The Motions to be considered are:
>
> 1. That the new 2008-09 HGFA Membership Fee Schedule and the
> associated Fee Restructure including the abolition of the State
> Fees be rescinded, and that the HGFA Membership Fees for the
> 2008-09 financial year be kept the same as the 2007-08 HGFA Fee
> Schedule, except that the previous HGFA Full Membership Fee
> component be increased by an amount equal to the Consumer Price
> Index (CPI). Namely a 4.5% increase from $250 plus $11, to $261.
>
> 2. That all positions of the HGFA Board be spilled and an election of
> a new HGFA Board be organised as soon as possible, and no later
> than 31 December 2008.
>
> Please read the attached Requisition document in full.
>
> If you support the Requisition, please Sign the enclosed Requisition
> Support Form and return the signed form as soon as possible:
>
> By mail to: Queensland Hang Gliding Association Inc, 28 Bellevue Street
> Highgate Hill, QLD 4101.
>
> Or by e-mail: By printing, signing, and scanning the signed Support Form
> and returning it to: greg.s....@transport.qld.gov.au.
>
> You could also help gather support for this requisition by collecting
> signatures of other pilots “on the hill” and returning the Requisition
> Support Form by post as outlined above.
>
> Your support will be crucial to get the HGFA back on track.
>
> Please act now to secure the future of our sport by signing and
> returning the Requisition Support Form to the addresses indicated.
>
> Thank you.

> Yours faithfully
