Hi Paul,
When I agreed to join with Quinte 
it was not to join in anything other than a zoom meeting (if we feel like listening in and maybe the odd Hunt or combined activity),
I want us to have separate everything where meetings and things like that the only involve us (PARC).

Thanks

It has come to my attention that there is a new proposal  to have the Quinte club join our meetings via zoom.

I can forsee that there are a few concerns arising with this open ended plan.

We run the risk of losing our uniquely run meetings where we speak openly about things. Some of which (at times) should be kept within the club.

Each club presently concern themselves with local issues from their area. The Quinte club issues center around the north shore of Lake Ontario through to Kingston, while PARC is focused on the top end of Northumberland County, the Peterborough area.  and up towards Lindsay.

There is the also the problem with voting rights and the difficulty of tabulating them when part of the  meeting is via zoom where it will be hard to determine who is a member of our club.

There are issues surrounding the loss of club privacy.

I do not agree that we should extend an open ended invitation to the Quinte club.  

Maybe we could have the odd joint meeting when the 2 clubs have similar issues.
