Thank you, Rich. I understand what you are saying about the grass always being greener. I agree. I just feel like there is more going on at ND than what I know. I will look at Coastal and the South Delta clubs.

I am looking at other clubs now. At the time I didn't realize the whole scope of what was going on at ND but now that I see someone was fired and other people left and there was legal action and the president was suspended I am thinking it isn't the place I want my kids to go to learn about...

Yes, I agree all the Surrey clubs seem so confusing. Coastal is fairly close. I have heard a lot of ND players have started playing there. Maybe it is worth checking out.

From what I understand many members of the board were as upset by the fact people were not allowed to vote and as surprised by it as the coaches and other volunteers were. In the past any member who showed up to an AGM was given voting rights, my husband voted other years when he has gone. I...

According to my husband there was a guy there with the constitution and the societies act but the President had his own interpretation and said only coaches, managers and board members could vote and he said his say was final. I have heard the district or whoever is in charge suspended him for...

Wow! I guess I am pretty naive or haven't been around soccer enough but I am totally surprised by the things I have heard happen at these AGMs. I can't imagine any other business being run in these ways.

I'd like to know more about this. My son's play at North Delta and my husband is an assistant coach. My husband was at the AGM last spring and he said it was chaos. My husband wasn't allowed to vote (he has in the past because he is a coach). No one at the club will comment on what happened or...

I totally agree on this. Last year my husband who is an assistant coach for two of our son's teams and was not allowed to vote at our club's AGM but they brought in two women who he had never seen before and thanked them for coming because they were Lifetime members and gave them voting cards. I...
