How long was this meeting will and how many people were in attendance. Gonna be pretty epic if everyone gets a say at the peak area meet.

Lock in !   :pissed:

The Peak Area meet took place last night and was the last of the Area Meets to discuss the rebrand before it goes back to National Council on Saturday.

There were some cringey histrionics, set speeches and accusations of deception as well as some good viewpoints and views. Overall the meeting was fairly orderly in the circumstances.

Dave Turnbull gave a good down-to-earth presentation despite a chest infection but like Hilary Clinton he struggled manfully on. He was supported by President Rehan "Chuckle Brother" Siddiqui. Rob Greenwood the Chair had clearly taken the occasion seriously as he had a haircut.

At the end of the Q&A's a "non-binding-get-a-feel-for-the-feeling-in the-room" vote was taken on four options. 1.No change 2. Endorse the rebrand 3. Use the brand in other ways 4. An alternative brand name

Option 3 got a slight majority. Dave revealed that in the other Area Meets a similar vote was more strongly in favour of Option 3.

This now goes back to National Council on Saturday for reconsideration. Unless they are insane the Council will endorse Option 3 and probably come up with a proposal or a choice of options that encapsulates Option 3.

No doubt the proposals will be communicated online and will be discussed at the next Area Meet and depending in the proposal/s may go to a final vote at the AGM.

Thanks Shark.

Didn't make it down as work was a bit full on and couldn't face more meetings.

I bet there's a crate full of unworn Climb Britain t-shirts somewhere that just became collectors items.
