it was noted, with some concern, that while the meeting was fairly well attended, very few of the member clubs had bothered to send any representatives to the meeting. The represented clubs were:

Blak Yak,Old Mill, Playlovers, Roleystone , Stirling Players , Mesh Theatre Co, and one undecipherable signature which was, I think- Wanneroo - out of 27 Metro clubs only 7 has bothered. Of the country clubs- there was one metro representative- Stage Left!!

Sadly

Sadly most people find AGMs to be as boring as batsh!t, so they don't like going, even if the organisation is something that benefits them. Such is life??? "Life is too short to stuff a mushroom"

Change of scene?

Maybe we should call them AGPs - Annual General PARTY - and plan them accordingly. Might get more people along. ;-)

EDIT: Hmmm, Copyright Laws imply that this idea is now mine, so anyone wanting to use this idea will have to pay a down payment on the temporary loan of the concept of an AGP. <rubs hands gleefully before realising he is talking crap>

Meetings without notice?

I only became aware the meeting was on by coming on to this site.... ten minutes before it started... maybe others were in the same boat? El

Upstart would have liked to

Upstart would have liked to be present but as I have previously mentioned I along with a majority of Upstart's commitee members are in rehearsal for various shows around the metro area and so were unable to attend. So, Norma, it wasn't that we couldn't be "bothered", it was merely our circumstances that impeded us from attending.

Admittedly - publicity for

Admittedly - publicity for this event was fairly minimal. I believe an initial posting of the AGM went on to this site and letters were sent to each club inviting them to send to Members. Just so that clubs are aware (please correct me if I am wrong Norma) all members are welcome to attend the AGM and have voting power for the company - not just committee members. (Each paying company has 2 votes) Hopefully next year we will be able to pull some more numbers. Andy

NormaTue, 23 Feb 2010, 04:39 pm

Admittedly Publicity for this event

you are only partly correct Andrew!

Beause we did not have an early February LINK, there was of course nothing in that!, tho it was in the January one.

All member clubs were sent a letter advising them of the meeting and so were life and personal members. As well it was put on the theatre web-site about THREE weeks ago.

What else do we do ?Tv stations, full page in the West????

(And that comment is bound to get me into all kinds of trouble!!)

In my experience people only usually turn out to an AGM of any kind if they are expecting trouble!!

Bass GuyTue, 23 Feb 2010, 04:52 pm

Gentle prodding

Even a small note on here along the lines of "Don't forget, tomorrow..." etc etc Not being a member or a lifer or a club, I didn't know about it until the death knell.

NormaTue, 23 Feb 2010, 06:35 pm

Gentle prodding

Why does everyone seem to need spoon-feeding these days?

(Gets herself into more trouble)

jeffhansenTue, 23 Feb 2010, 07:05 pm

I did, as president of

I did, as president of Melville, pass on my verbal apologies to Kimberley before the event (I was at a rehearsal), but unfortunately didn't manage to pass on the MTC voting authority to any of our members. www.meltheco.org.au

Bass GuyTue, 23 Feb 2010, 07:47 pm

Because...

... a lot of the rest of us don't live, eat, breathe, sleep, fart, or sweat ITA business solely. A lot of us have other more pressing concerns in our day-to-day lives. Despite appearances, I am only ever casting furtive glances over this site and occasionally putting in my three roubles. I would in no way say I was in the loop of things- hence why an occasional "spoon-feeding" is helpful. And I thought that's what the aim of the ITA was; to help. Being berated for being a little slow on the uptake is Bad Form, Ms Davis- as you should well know by now. If it's too tiring and bothersome for you to help the intermittent visitors to this page in a civil and conciliatory manner, I suggest you leave it to someone else. Yes, you may have reached the end of a tether, (like Na and her flipping obsession with the FAQ :-D ) but what if I was keen to have attended and, God forbid, shown the ITA some support? El.

Robert J WhyteTue, 23 Feb 2010, 08:04 pm

And its usually the ones

And its usually the ones that stay away in droves that complain about the ITA the most (hopes to deflect trouble from Norma by getting into more)

NormaTue, 23 Feb 2010, 08:22 pm

because

Then what are you making such a fuss about?

Bass GuyTue, 23 Feb 2010, 09:44 pm

Ah, but....

... am I making a fuss? Am I the one grumbling at the clubs who didn't attend? I merely state that I wasn't there because I found out too late. If this rankles, my apologies. I would have liked to attend the meeting; I didn't because I was unaware until too late that it was on. Am I and those of my ilk to be bollocked for our unintentional ignorance? That's a good way to get support... :-/

Walter PlingeWed, 24 Feb 2010, 05:43 am

Advice please

Many years ago I was in one of Grant Malcolm's classes and he fidded with me in an inappopriate manner. I want to talk to the police about it, what should I do?

Walter PlingeWed, 24 Feb 2010, 08:17 am

Robert, now you watch it

Robert, now you watch it you little minx, Bass Guy will bite and before you know it this whole thread once again will reel from the slings and arrows...however, that isn't always a bad thing. Bass Guy throws in his three roubles (two cents) and enjoys a little spoon feeding (don't we all?) Norma, has herself in a bother about those that don't bother. Mean while Andrew G (doesn't he host Idol?) wants to pull some lovely numbers. This in itself creates its own theatre, darling, let us embrace our differing opinions and gorgeous salutations to the full. My one question is, did anything at the meeting get done? I mean really? Would it be in someones interest to attend, or was this particualr meeting just an occasion to get nasty to all those that didn't bother? A genuine question from one who has a genuine intrest. Ps has anyone seen my handbag?

NormaWed, 24 Feb 2010, 10:13 am

Ah but....

??Truce, Elliot??

Bass GuyWed, 24 Feb 2010, 10:57 am

You betcha!

Absolutely- rapiers retracted and stored away. :-)

Robert J WhyteWed, 24 Feb 2010, 11:33 am

Sea Biscuit.....I said pet I said love I said pet...

No, I haven't seen your handbag, is it the one that is on fire? Remind me to hit you with mine next time I see you. Kisses Robert.

Walter PlingeThu, 25 Feb 2010, 08:31 am

I can't believe my previous

I can't believe my previous post was moderated down! I feel dirty...oh my! If someone took offence then what can I say? I am a bad boy, sadly, I need to be taken in hand and given a damn good thrashing, six of the best and all that. Question is who is going to be the one to administer the punishment? Having read the above, one would (with glee) assume Robbie is the front runner (apparently he wants to hit me with his bag?!?!?!?) As for the meeting...seriously, anything discussed that would have relevance to the rest of us? Sincere question, not to be taken as sarcasm or any other 'casm, genuinely interested. That was the original reason, I read the thread as I was keen to see what was said, discussed, etc. Anyway, toodles. Ps. please don't moderate, it leaves one feeling empty, unlike Robert's bag (sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Paul TreasureThu, 25 Feb 2010, 09:18 am

Anything happen at the AGM?

Well, actually, yes... At least one, maybe three items of major importance came up at the AGM. One with a potenitally large affect on the ITA One with a potentially large affect on the Finleys and One with a probably large affect on the Overall Theatre Community. But you'll find out all about them in due course since you missed the heads up at the meeting... :-)

Paul TreasureThu, 25 Feb 2010, 09:19 am

Potenitally?

Man my fingers are stupid this morning!!!

LogosThu, 25 Feb 2010, 10:09 am

Hmm Well

While your talking about clumsy fingers it should be effect not affect. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au

Bass GuyThu, 25 Feb 2010, 10:26 am

Furthermore....

it should be "you're" and not "your".... it must be the heat (or some rare disease...) Eliot.

LogosThu, 25 Feb 2010, 11:16 am

It's the heat definitely

Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au

Paul TreasureThu, 25 Feb 2010, 11:23 am

Poor Grammar Day

Paul hangs his head in shame and begs for forgiveness... I fell foul of one of the more common traps in the Enlgish Language, and I apologise. I promise to try and maintain a higher standard if you will excuse this one gaffe.

Walter PlingeThu, 25 Feb 2010, 03:37 pm

It's so boring correcting

It's so boring correcting the spelling and grammar on here, after all I was under the impression that it was far more conversational and 'chatty'. Although, I dare say I will get a tongue lashing (I should be so lucky) from one or two of you for saying the following... I do feel that people do get a perverse sense of satisfaction from correcting other people. I believe it gives them an air of superiority, a higher status if you will (although very rarely in person, maybe they don't get out enough). This is all fine, and of course, completely acceptable,it's just, it does make those players seem quite arrogant...it's not needed. Maybe there is a need though. A need to be seen as learned, when I read the above, I must admit, I can imagine them writing it, thinking that they have the wit and sophistication of Oscar Wilde. I assume they see themselves as a hoot, an intellectual armed with the power to spot errors, errors created by those that have unfortunately mis-spelt a word! Also, I do imagine that they are wearing fish net stockings, everything just jim jammed together! A kind of manly soup being created...especially in this heat! Anyway, keep up the banter but maybe just tone down the online marking service. C-ya, woont, wanna, bee ya!
