This year, at the 2014 IPSC BC Annual General Meeting, we will be trying something new. Motions will not be accepted from the floor and limited time will be given for the mover and seconder to speak to their motion.
Instead, motions will be accepted 8 weeks prior to the date of the Annual General Meeting and movers/seconds will have an opportunity to provide a written/typed commentary to attach to the actual motion.
