Hello Sylvia.

If money has to be paid for a conference room, then it should
come from the organisation's funds, especially if it is for an
AGM.

I have organised several conferences in my time for various
organisations, and I would not entertain a hotel which charged
extra for guests to use one of its rooms. It should come as
part of the package. If a venue does charge extra for a
conference room, then you are being ripped off.

It has been paid for, and the ten pound per person applies to us all,
whether or not we are staying for the weekend, as we are only using the
conference room for the agm.

[Kate Fensome]

yes for future agms I shall suggest that avip pay the cost of the
conference room. but to make it fair this year, we all need to share the
cost, it is not right that some have to pay and some do not.

Kate I have absolutely no problem paying £10 as we are all
wanting somewhere to hold the agm and was only replying to Peters
amail.
where is the spirit of giving to AVIP so that we can all enjoy
the conference?

Sylvia.

Hello Kate,
It is the norm for organisations to cover the cost of a conference room in
the event that the powers that bee, decide to use a hotel with a chargeable
room. Who actually took this unconstitutional decision, and what was the
result of the vote? That is, assuming that the committee's decision was
indeed democratic!

Hello Sylvia.

The organisation has a bank account, and should be able to pay
for such things if they choose to use such hotels which put
additional charges on for conference rooms. If the organisation
cannot afford it, then they should use better hotels which don't
put on these extra charges.

Best wishes,

Peter

Hello Sylvia,
With all due respect, I fear you have got your priorities somewhat out of
proportion. Gone are the days of AVIOS, and what you are attending is no
longer a conference. An AGM is, as I have already stated, a public meeting,
and the charge for a room where applicable, should always come out of
association funds. If the committee has agreed that everybody attending
should pay a contribution towards the meeting room, this should only happen
if there is an issue which might concern a question of solvency!However,
even in this case, it would still be wrong. .
