WISHING HAPPY MAKAR-SANKRANTI TO ALL THE MIGCC MEMBERS & FRIENDS

I appeal to you all to attend the adjourned AGM and contribute your views including on a few points below. Let’s have a frank and open discussion on them.



Recently I received a discount coupon from ‘Lifestyle’ promoted by our MIG CC under Mr. Ashish Patankar, Hon., Gen. Secretary’ signature. It’s good for the members. Such a direct marketing by our Club, however, is questionable unless benefits to the Club are transparent. Further, why addresses of the members are provided to the company without consent of the members? Strange that when I contested the MC election, many of the addresses and tel numbers of the members were wrong or old.



Wonder why bouncers were deployed for the New Year’s party? Is it that we do not have faith in our own young generation? The Club has sufficient security guards so why the additional cost was incurred?



Details of the Ordinary Memberships need to be clearly disclosed with the grounds for grant of such memberships as they are meant only for the people residing nearby and who cannot afford Life Membership fee.



Why the Life Memberships were granted to selective people without informing the members with a notice beforehand?



Instead of issuing all the time new memberships to raise amounts, I had suggested a scheme for buy-back of the memberships for its reissue. Say, pay Rs. 4,00,000 for the old Life Members and reissue the same at Rs. 8,00,000. Many members would be interested and also that the new members would be subject to scrutiny of the Management.



Looking at the latest news appeared in Mumbai Mirror, issued dated 3-1-2012, in the interest of the Club’s reputation, I suggest that let Mr. Gokhale resign from the Managing Committee and the matter be resolved. No comments on the other matter! What can I say?



In the last adjourned AGM held on 11-12-2012, it was accepted that the amendments to the Club’s constitution were not incorporated as was approved by the EGM and its minutes were also questioned. The Constitution as wrongly amended should be discarded ab-initio in toto and a fresh one to be put for approval. Such wrong amendments amounts to taking the members for granted!



Many members spoke to me about sole catering contractor for all the restaurants and banquet halls. They want some change and avoid such monopoly.



Looking forward to your active support and attendance for the adjourned AGM. I shall keep you posted of the time-date-venue of the same.
