Any Other Business

1.      Prior to the meeting Pierre Candelaria requested that the meeting discuss PTC events competing with other Tango events.  This related to a decision by the previous committee to hold a Valentine Milonga at the same time as a pre-planned Milonga by Tango-Space.

 

The principal discussed was that when planning events the PTC should avoid clashing with events previously advertised by other organisers.

No dissension was raised to this principle; however, it is acceptable that dates for visiting teachers may clash with other tango events.  Further to this it is noted that, should other parties choose to create clashes; the PTC is entitled to maintain dates of pre-planned events. Also noted is that the committee take the members’ interests into consideration when planning events.

No motion was put to the meeting

 

2.      Prior to the meeting Richard Wilson requested a proposal be put to the meeting to change the Rules of Association such that Committee members do not hold the same position for more than 2 years.

No discussion was forthcoming and no motion was put to the meeting

 

3.       Committee was requested to investigate

a.      practicalities of postal votes for committee positions

b.      a more practical approach to achieving a quorum for the AGM

 

The meeting concluded at 11:40pm
