We see that you have accessed the GMTC minutes. We have answered the other questions you have raised below:

1.       We did not vote for the president in the AGM on Sept 24.  The president continued in his office.  The president resigned on Oct 24 2022 in a post AGM meeting. The president resigned of his own volition in the presence of all attendees of the Oct 24 board meeting.

2.       Leo and Danny resigned on their own and were not requested to resign.

3.       Peter, the senior most member of GMTC, requested Leo to reconsider his resignation. Leo did not do so.

4.       Danny did not attend Oct 24 and Nov 8 meetings as he was sick. He resigned by email of his own accord, stating that he was sick, unable to attend, and as one of the old board members wanted to handover to the new board members. He expressed confidence and support in the new board

5.       Regarding your earlier question on by-laws and the appointment of new members to the board: By-law 13.5 gives the board the power to appoint members in the event directors resign post AGM

6.       Re: tied vote for VPs in Sept AGM. The sitting president initiated a motion for the joint VP role for 2023. This motion was passed by in the AGM

7.       As the president resigned on Oct 24, Peter– as the senior most member of GMTC- chaired the Nov 8 meeting. Again as the president resigned post AGM, rule 13-5 is applied. The existing board members nominated the president, and this was supported by all the attendees of the Oct 24 board meeting

8.        Apology to Wayne: GMTC wrote a letter of regret to Wayne. This was to record our regret for some of the unwarranted behaviour and comments in the floor of the AGM in Sept 2022.

9.        Wayne is the incumbent coach. GMTC renews (/ offers the renewal option) to the incumbent coach based on his work / performance at the club. Wayne’s work as the club pro was acknowledged by most attendees of the 2022 AGM in Sept. Further, GMTC members acknowledged and commended Wayne’s role and his ability to attract record attendance to GMTC’s Monday and Wednesday club social event during the 2022 season

10. Normal separation between an incumbent coach and GMTC is governed by the terms and condition of the club pro’s contract. Should the coach’s position fall open after the normal separation process, GMTC usually seeks applications from coaches approved by the Ontario Tennis Association.
