[Lifemember] FW: NOTICE of SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING - RDA NSW

Sat Oct 19 13:00:48 AEDT 2024

Dear Life members,

I was indeed in 2 minds as to whether I send this to you all or not let it through our email system.

I am sending it to you for transparency.

I do apologise sincerely that we are experiencing and over burden of emails.

I also want to inform you that Bruce Manefield is not a member of any centre of RDA(NSW) nor a legal entity representing Box Hill or Tamworth. They have not been given the approval to form this group nor use the letter head and logo for there group.

Box Hill was asked to forward their minutes several weeks ago to where the whole committee agreed to what we are all experiencing. These minutes were never forth coming.

We have appointed a director to assist with the constitution and the solicitor so that we can all have input into the constitution revamp. This director is James Van-Lane of the Wollondilly centre.

James has asked for Bruce to cease and desist and to wait until November when James returns from his granddaughters wedding in Canada.

We have had the regional reps personally call most of the centres to see if they are going ok with all of this ,most of them have had enough and are indeed very distressed by what this minority group are doing.

Emails of distress from several centres have also been received and these centres have decided that they will not be sharing the information any more with their volunteers as it is causing distress and mental anguish.

What I can also let you know is that 2 of the centres who have self-appointed individuals in the self-appointed working party have emailed the Board and said they are not part of it. Those centres are Wagga and Raymond Terrace . A phone call from another individual at Goulburn has also notified me that they are not part of it either.

2 parties of the group are also individuals which have been suspended from RDA(NSW) and 1 of the centres is in administration.

I hope this gives you a clearer view on what is happening on our end, and I can assure you we are and will be taking this seriously and whole heartedly bring order back into the organisation to continue the outstanding work our centres, horses and volunteers do for our riders and participants.

Please have a great weekend.

For and on behalf of myself sharing information not a Board directive.

Kind Regards

Tracy Lucas
