I do apologise that I have been unable to respond any earlier, however given that your letter came on Thursday 11th May at 7.43pm this gave the Board no opportunity to discuss and seek additional advice on this situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">As I know you appreciate we are all volunteers and with the weekend, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">made even more difficult with it being Mother’s Day, the Board who wish to give this their undivided attention had limited opportunity to discuss this issue fully.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Your letter has come as a surprise to us as you told our Chairperson at the workshop that you and the Wagga committee were unaware of Mr McClintock’s behaviour towards Directors in regards to the complaints . Tracy went to console you as you were visibly upset ,when it was revealed to you via an email by Charles McClintock approximately 20 minutes prior to his presentation on Mounted Games.. You even expressed a desire for Tracy to offer an apology to all the directors and assured her the matter would be discussed at centre level.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 20px;">As soon as the board has had the chance to follow through with investigating your request we will return with a reply that I hope will clarify the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p style="font-size: 20px;"> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; margin: 0cm; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><o:p style="font-size: 20px;"> Kind regards,</o:p></p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Jan Pike OAM</span><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">Hon Director </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">Life Member </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">RDA (NSW)</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">0416525192</span></div></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span><blockquote type="cite"><span style="font-size: 20px;">On 11 May 2023, at 7:45 pm, rda wagga <rda.wagga@gmail.com> wrote:<br><br></span></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;"></span><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Dear Board,</span><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">Please find attached a letter to the board of directors regarding the recent AGM and Wagga's nominee for the board, Charles McClintock. </span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">We would respectfully request you respond by 5pm Monday 15th May 2023 in order for the appropriate actions to be implemented.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">I urge you to please consider your actions and response in light of the current climate and work <b>with</b> your members in the spirit of RDA.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br clear="all"></span><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;">Kind Regards</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 20px;">Michelle Eastwood</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: 20px;"><b>President</b><br><i>Riding for the Disabled Association (NSW) Wagga Centre<br></i></span></div><div dir="ltr"><i style="font-size: 20px;">321 Plumpton Rd<br>Wagga Wagga NSW 2650<br>Ph/Fax (02) 6922 3550<br>email: <a href="mailto:waggawagga@rdansw.org.au" target="_blank">waggawagga@rdansw.org.au</a></i></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
