It is odd that we want contested elections, people really encouraged to stand and one if those most passionate about the club is essentially barred from doing so. I just hope that it’s not personal. IE, if someone else made similar small typo would they be barred as well. Let’s hope they would.

I’d sooner a woman than a rapist Kent, but hey, each to their own - have fun explaining to your daughter why the rapist is the best choice 🤪

AIOW - I don’t disagree with any of that- I think that it’s pretty clear that the DTB “establishment” immediately mobilise to keep out any sort of “outsider” candidate by any means necessary. I just think that it’s not really worth the fight (though I salute those who do try) as the current structure is essentially unreformable and will continue until it succeeds or fails due to external factors (ie running out of money).

Nick, I'd say it's akin to fighting with both hands behind his back, whilst others get to speak about their manifestos, Shane is having to trying and get heard about the wrong doings of the ESG just to reverse this stupid decision on excluding from appearing on the ballot. Interesting to hear on the Same old Wombles about the struggles on getting a diverse engagement into the election. Take a look at yourselves fellas, yes no diversity there either, and how the DTB and potential hopefuls interact it's a club that does nothing to dissuade outsiders that they have any possible chance of getting a voice. The moment any potential threat to this cosy club happens, you get to close that spot in short shrift. Mike Hastie, Colin and now Shane, all victims to the stitch-up and you claim to be a democracy, yes you are, a Chinese democracy.

Spare a thought for the pious leftwits and woketards fuming over the defeat of an over-promoted token black female box-ticker.

My guess is that way more than 90% of DT members never use ProBoards, so I am not sure that being excluded from that is a massive hardship, though I recognise that it may be more so if you want to stand for the DT

I’d like to think we wouldn’t elect a rapist as leader in the U.K., but the Americans seem fine with it - all those “protect our daughters from predatory men” people are quite happy to have a groping adjudicated rapist with a proclivity for young girls as POTUS. That’s just weird 😒

After the euphoria of the franchise one thing I've not seen is the additional bonus of getting prize money here is the prize money breakdown for every round. 4th round onwards, except the final is winner takes all [Link]

Not necessarily in favour of trig standing due his quite offensive diatribe against current and former DTB members. I do defend his right to stand in that the ESG made a serious mistake.

In a months time the ESG will reveal how many Ballot Papers were submitted; will be interesting to see what correlation there is with the various figures the DTB have been distributing over the last few months.

Figures that already appear confused.
6,499 (+1) Members on the 6th October? It's like a random number generator. Imagine if the DTB were managing anything with finance (numbers) involved or members called an SGM and the needed to know what 10% of the membership was.

At the end of every month the DTB should be stating the EXACT number of members. It's not difficult. Create a cut-off for those in progress. Then with next months figure clearly state "including 27 joining last month but who missed the cut-off for inclusion". The current board lacks transparency and it's driving anxiety (and distrust) in members including many who aren't traditionally "disruptors".
What an impressively accurate and deserving effigy created by the good people of Lewes to celebrate bonfire night: [Link]

They also did one of Paula Vennells.
Spit - really? Trump is an absolute disaster and a car crash waiting to happen. He shows signs of dementia and he can't be trusted. Here's hoping the Americans see sense and vote Harris.

Great win.
DTB Chair was cc’d on that email.

Oh and the “abuse claim” is in that email too - says my previous was “rude” - I’m happy for them to share what I wrote, I stand by it. It wasn’t abusive or offensive. I don’t even think it was rude. Still, permanent ban and told to stay down til December, after the elections. Actually helped inspire me to stand.
For OI: “This has been raised with the Board and Proboards Moderators and the decision has been taken to terminate your Proboards access permanently. We do not receive this tone or correspondence from any of the 6,499 other Members and are not prepared to tolerate it from you. Can I suggest you spend the next few weeks reflecting on what has lead us to this action. Feel free to correspond in relation to this in December once you have had the opportunity to consider this response. The above action is very much a last resort and not one that we take any pleasure in doing.”

DTB Secretary 6th October 2024. Why would they specifically say December? I call for the ESG to reverse their decision with immediate effect and allow a fair election to take place. Fans have had enough of this.
OI- fair enough, I am not close to the details of the process so it’s probably all just a coincidence. To be honest we have seen that even where reform-minded candidates do get elected they either get co-opted or driven out, so it’s not really worth getting too worked up about the process.

Election rule 30: "Appeals against any decision of the ESG may be made to the Secretary; they will be judged by the Board of the Trust."

There would be an enormous fuss if the DTB were involved, it would invalidate the whole election if they applied pressure to the ESG. The independent scrutineer would make a reasonable decision on the information he had. So the question is whether he was supplied with the full facts.

Ultimately how big a surprise is it that the DT/ESG come up with a spurious reason to block the candidature of someone who was likely (if elected) to “rock the boat” and try to shake up the current regime?
