@limegreen1, you and others keep going on like this ... as if the SCGB has some sort of innate legal authority or moral respectability. If you've been following this thread over the past couple of years, you'll know that the SCGB has ...
- Falsified its membership statistics, for years and currently, at 29,000 to 34,000 etc. Failed to publish its subscription numbers ('paying units') for the past 3 years.
- Failed to account for the income/expenditure of its ten-year cumulative 'environmental fund' of c.£100,000
- Promoted and sold ski helmets using false head injury data
- Sold advertising for Ski Club TV, its magazine Ski+Board and its website, using false audience data, from 2011 to 2014.
- Published false snow depth data for Scottish ski areas, and repeatedly (each winter for the past 3 winters) reported Scottish ski areas "closed" all weekend, when they've been open.
On that basis, why stick up for a 'kangaroo court' in its expulsion of a member?

No I don't! Clubs are perfectly capable of addressing wrongs and putting them right. I'm not paying the fees of 'men in wigs'
I understand fully what you are saying......
But the fact remains .... Kangaroo court or not, you "have been expelled" ..... You are not a member.
Legal challenge ? No ?? ........
I am afraid to be the one to break it to you but ... yes you do ...... If you are waiting for the club to reinstate you by "righting " their wrongs you will be an ex member for many a years.
If you are not going to spend money on such a challenge then the whole of this thread should be put to bed by your own admission ....

@Karl Marx, it is clear to everyone that you are indeed not a member of the SCGB . I would imagine it is also clear to everyone why they would not want you as a member.
Grow up, accept it.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Surely any club that has the authority to speak on behalf of a nation has the authority to expel members and decline applications for their readmission...?
The SCGB says it has that authority. If I accepted that it had that authority I might agree with you.
On a comparable note [his lawyer argued that his client had been subjected to a 'kangaroo court'] ... what was the position of rob@rar on the expulsion of Simon Butler from BASI on 1 November 2014?
After the Edinburgh court had reinstated Simon Butler's membership [as reported in the above link], did you agree with Simon Butler's lawyer? ...
Quote:
Ian Mitchell, QC, the senior counsel in Mr Butler’s case, described the BASI process to expel Mr Butler as “a grotesque Kangaroo court.”

How about the definition given in your own link above: "a prolonged bitter quarrel with or campaign against someone". Innit.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Simon Butler legally challenged the expulsion.
This has no bearing on the clubs stance of your being expelled.....
If you feel aggrieved by the actions of the "kangaroo court" then take legal action ......
Otherwise .... You remain an ex member .... And will be for many a year ....
It matters not what has gone before nor what anyone thinks, .. bar the judge who will make the decision to over turn the clubs decision or not should a legal challenge be made .....
You are not going make one and the SCGB are obviously not interested.......

I'm no lawyer but I'd have guessed that's a libellous statement unless you have the facts to prove it.
Yes, it would be a libel, if all three aspects of that sentence weren't true, in terms of documented evidence.

I don't have an informed opinion on that matter, and even if I did it would be entirely irrelevant to your vendetta against Gerry and his club, and your abuse (IMO) of snowHeads in pursuing your vendetta.

Well, I'm glad you are confident to make that statement. I would truly hate to see the club pursue you for making false and malicious claims in public about some of its commercial activities.

Let's be absolutely clear here: none of the above is either (a) false (b) malicious. I have very strong moral objections, as a member of the Ski Club of Great Britain, to the way the organisation operates commercially. These objections are part-based on my working for the Club - primarily from 1984 to 1994 - when it presented all the data relevant to our activities (on the SCGB magazine Ski Survey) correctly.

On the previos page, DG quotes the former Rules of the SCGB as being those under which he was wrongly expelled.
However, the club incorported, many moons before said expulsion.
By paying his membership fees in the year after incorporation DG, and all other members who did so, were deemed to have accepted the new terms of the Limited by guarantee company.
Under those new terms DG's membership was correctly terminated - they give a right to a written objection, not to a face to face with the committee.
DG knows this full well, he is being disingenuous, to say the least, to keep quoting the obsolete Rules.

Oh yes, all terribly proper and credible (in common with the "former" - and only respectful - Rules that acknowledge normal British qualities of justice) ... until one looks further into the provenance of the 'Articles' of Ski Club of Great Britain Limited, which you rely upon.

Thank you for your note. To confirm Mr Goldsmith’s application was rejected and he is not a member of the Club.
Thanks and best wishes for a great 2015.

@Karl Marx, Try Companies House for provenance of SCGB Ltd - I've no more time to waste on you.
But the post you were busy not responding to, about the SCGB rules is COMPLETELY FACTUAL.

No, not the provenance of SCGB Ltd. The provenance of its Articles of Association. The document that was never circulated to SCGB members.
The document that you claim - it's very debatable - replaces the real Rules of the Ski Club of Great Britain.
The Rules that were ... err ... 'expelled' (or not)

@Karl Marx,
Are you a member of the SCGB.....................................NO!
Should you now be a member of the SCGB.....re the invite...............YES!
WHY NOT! Becaue you made the basic mistake of coming on here bragging that you where back in BEFORE ! they took your money.
Your fault nobody elses as to why you are not back, you should have kept quiet waited till the money had gone, you got your membership numbers etc then bragged that the ban was over. If they had expelled you again after that before you had a chance to give them grounds you could have taken that to lawyers for redress but you did not you did not think clearly.
Are you conducting a Vendetta as rob@rar, has suggested YES! but from what bits I have seen so is GA so I do not hold that against you as I view due to his position he should act in a more mature and professional manner than you would be obliged to, though that does not mean you should not strive to do so yourself.
Your comments on here are not producing the results you want so as someone who I take has a reasonably good level of intelligence do you not think that this suggests you need to rethink your stratergy ? You need friends not more enemies.

Karl, please remember that Valentine was a so-called saint, and religion is the opium of the masses. Besides, Valentine's Day is a conspiracy of the factory owners and the bourgeoisie. I'm beginning to think that you are an imposter, comrade.
'Skiing Bond' special for St Valentine's Day ... 'The Spy Who Loved Me' ...
As a special greeting, Karl extends his Happy Valentine'sDay message to all adversaries, 'inner sanctum' members of the SKGB, 'Wimbledon trolls' [Womtrolls], trollettes, agents of Spectre, and anyone else who secretly loves him [or not].
As a special Valentine's Day feature of New Ski Club of Great Britain chat forum ... here's the genius skiing sequence [the opening scene] of 'The Spy Who Loved Me', starring Roger Moore ...
The remarkable story of the making of that stunt was documented by Rick Sylvester - the man himself - in "I Doubled for James Bond," SKI Magazine (Late Winter 1978) ... and here's a video interview with Rick Sylvester, explaining how it was done [14 mins] ...
It opens with Skeeb executive Katy Ellis [Sales & Operations Manager, Ski Club Freshtracks] candidly making a number of points about SCGB holidays and "compatible women". SCGB member John Dixon* wades in with some dodgy humour that goes down like a lead cablecar ...
Quote:
So does this ratio work,the female minority defuses all the testosterone of male competition,gives the guide someone who at least listens to what they say,but more than that ratio doesn't work,by the end of the week too many women start fighting amongst themselves? ...
... So the solution is no more than two women per guide on SCGB off-piste holidays and you will fill these slots instantly due to the publicity and outraged response ...
... Two spoonfuls of male chauvinism shaken not stirred and as predicted the post generates publicity ,outrage and mass signings up for womens' off-piste skiing.
I would like claim a free SCGB off-piste holiday and 30CH per day spending money next season.
* The SCGB had a past general manager (effectively CEO), back in the 1980s, with exactly that name but it seems unlikely to be that John Dixon. Can said Dixon clarify?
After all it is free

@Karl Marx, and others round on him for making such chauvanist comments including the man you love to hate, GA. You didn't mention that though as it wouldn't back up the view you like to portray of SCGB. Maybe it is the same Mr Dixon you mention as the CEO in the '80's , the days you seem to see as the halcyon days of the SCGB!
