Hi Michael et al, I think the best way to have your say on the conduct of the OBC is to volunteer to run for a Board position. I understand that there will be some vacancies at this years AGM. I have been on the Board, its a thankless job and you certainly can't support every position presented by every member. We are the largest club in Ontario, and I know the Board and every individual member and I'm confident they do their best to represent the club and support the membership. Bottom line....you can't please everyone and you have to do what you think is in the best interest of all. I personally support the Board and the employees of the OBC. My two cents, Tim Aubin.
