Per Jeff's request a copy of his e-mail announcing the appointment of an interim President and VP, text below:
---------------
It is with pleasure that on behalf of Tony, Lyle and Jeff that we announce the following:
As of March 1st the new Bench rest Shooters of Canada President is Calvin Yanchycki.
As of March 1st the new Bench rest Shooters of Canada Vice President is Joe Mendham.
We are still looking for a new Treasurer. These most capable folks will take over until the annual meeting in early July in Manitoba at he Canadian shoot.
The last few years have been good, we increased our membership significantly, had annual meetings, (even if some attempted to play silly at the meetings), have actual provincial representation, money in the Bank, annual statements, and lots of motions decided upon by the masses,
We did not succeed in getting some Eastern (if I can use that term) clubs to join yet. I will be sending a couple of e-mails that the office of the President send regarding those discussion as they can be released now, and please MOST OF THE PROVINCIAL REPS AND EXECUTIVE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THEM AND WERE ALWAYS IN THE LOOP. They were never forwarded on at the request of the folks asking questions, but they may be shown now.
My only complaint is that if someone has a concern please talk to your provincial reps, then any of the Executive and lastly the President's position, (don't just send a stupid e-mail when you are new and start beaking off about how it is not a national organization)
As I have said at the last 3 annual meetings with the help of everyone we have grown. I do not take full responsibility for this but have played a small part yes and so have others.
The new President Calvin will send this on to those listed in the e-mail system for the BRSC and I have sent it to my e-mail list so others do not wonder what happened, NOTHING,
just the 3 Executives have done the work for 3 years, and perhaps a little longer and it is time for OTHERS TO SHOW LEADERSHIP AND HELP OUT.
Let us enjoy the year 2011 and make sure we all help out the new somewhat fearless leaders in making it FUN to shoot BENCH REST FOR ALL.
On behalf of the previous Executive we wish the new guys all the best, and watch out we now have time to shoot and sit back and watch the matches from the sidelines which we will enjoy,
Help us welcome new shooters and ranges throughout western Canada and maybe beyond.
thanks again to all who helped along the way and thanks to those who did not for making our time enjoyable in a different sort of way.
and with that, it is out to shovel snow instead of the normal BS
thanks again
BSRC retired President Jefferson
