AGM - queries anyone?

Hi All, 

Having just stumbled across the minutes of the last AGM meeting that was held, is it me or am I reading it wrong, but isn't over �200K in the bank seem a lot of money for a governing body? Why does it need so much? 

Also, how can a governing body ratify grades when surely it is up to the individual associations to give grades? 

I also notice that a number of the aikikai groups have banded together to try to get proportional representation. Does anyone know what this is about, surely if a group is 2000 strong they should have greater voting rights than that of an organization of 100 or is it one vote one organization? 

Any thoughts anyone? 

Regards, 

Pete

	Hi Pete, Actually just because one group has more members I do not for a second think that they should have greater voting rights... As I understand it, they are all separate associations in anycase and are not one 'super' association... Their way is not the only way, just as ki, iwama, shodokan etc. are not the only way either. What works for the aikikai groups will not work for the others and vice versa. As for ratifying grades... I find it slightly strange and then some. Regards, John.
