IDPA cancels affiliation with SADPA

[GoFast]

That's my reservation with most of what has transpired, and I include "the new".

I haven't been active for a few years for work reasons.

I used to get him at 5am (after thy shift) and be in the range at 7 building. Run a squad. Home at 4pm. Work a few hrs later and repeat willingly.

It seems that all exco members bar one have gone over to the newly created organisation. It's quite sad what is happening here.
Do we know why there has been such a massive exodus and why now?

From what I have gathered the Exco was the problem so starting fresh is probably the best thing that can happen for SADPA.

The internal politics that everyone keeps mentioning, no one actually talks about. So I have no idea why all of this is happening.

Read the older posts here and you should get some idea of what transpired.

So I note the new SADPA exco members were apparently appointed. I don't know, would have thought this would be something members vote on after nominations - before appointments.

(Not that it would have made a difference mind you in the outcome, I would have voted for 2 of the 3 as I know them, the 1 nominee I don't know).

However, and maybe it's just me - it seems matters now gets decided on arbitrarily (within SADPA) and we either just accept it, or move along I guess.

I noted same time that my SADPA membership is due for renewal - but I am only aware of the turmoil and IDPA non-association within SADPA. And no-as-in-ZERO certainty as to what *Shooting Sport* is on offer and which clubs will be presenting that specific [SADPA] shooting sport (and for how long).....

Is it just me, have I missed an important part somewhere.....?

If so it is business as usual...

If new committee is unopposed then does there need to be a public vote? They could be co-opted onto the board and at agm ratified.

SADPA hasn't had an AGM in years and years. They have also ignored at least two calls by members for SGMs.
