BU Board Election

[Kay 4 Bee]

I know that there has been a small amount of criticism by the great and the good on here regarding some of the current BU Board members and how they would be better suited to, well, let’s say alternative occupations. The words **** up and brewery spring to mind, let alone a few others.

At least one Board member will have to stand for re-election soon, so the discussion I would like to throw open to the panel is:

Who on here, recognising his (or indeed her, Nurse Betty) inordinate abilities and skills, preferably with vast experience in high finance, multinationals etc. etc. is willing to devote the next 3 years to BU and stand for election?

 

[Paul USA]

Many have made that offer in the past - Present situation means that none of them will now.

I think it will be a struggle

 

['Ayes B]

The problem with BU is that the election is for one person in twelve.

The collectiveness off the BU board means that its not like voting for a goverment where you have different parties, with different policies or that you know how a member of parliment has performed or voted.

Its a shame that disinchanted BU Board members have had no choice but to resign or support the majority view.

 

[Kay 4 Bee]

Yes, but someone's got to run BU

 

[Luton Bee]

I think you'll find that a couple of people already do.....

Indeed! What's a Chief Executive for after all

Problem of course is that if no one with any business acumen stands we'll end up with another F.Hall.

Impossible! There's no one quite as useless as F Hall.

 

[Paul USA]

I trust that BU will have a "None of the Above" box to check on the ballot papers

 

[Banana]

I trust that BU will have a "None of the Above" box to check on the ballot papers

I hope it's not the traditional "RON"

(that's "re=open nominations"!)

 

[Kay 4 Bee]

I trust that BU will have a "None of the Above" box to check on the ballot papers

And then what happens?

 

[Nurse Betty]

And then what happens?

They will be voted in to run BU for 3 years.

 

[Kay 4 Bee]

They will be voted in to run BU for 3 years.

No, I mean if we all check the "None of the above" box so no-one gets in.

 

[Banana]

it's only one person up for election u said

 

[Nurse Betty]

Oh, misunderstood. I thought he meant the candidates could tick a 'None of the Above' box on their paperwork in answer to the question 'Do you have any of these skills?'

 

[Kay 4 Bee]

it's only one person up for election u said

No I didn't

 

[Rod Gowers]

Problem of course is that if no one with any business acumen stands we'll end up with another F.Hall.

I think you probably mean "F 'All."

 

[Nigel Brooks]

No, it's OK i can spell Hall, and I am sure that Graham starts (and probably finishes) with an 'F'.
