I am with Helen on this, some name-and-shame may not be such a bad thing.
Some of the behaviour of member and/or families is worthy of this.
If they do not like the EPC go and try Platinum, I am sure that if such behaviour were repeated there it could have some career implications.
Next, the EPC requires sponsors, the sponsors want to try and sell something, I think it only fair that they are given a chance to pitch this, you don't have to take anything that they pitch, once again though, common decency/politeness suggests that they are given this chance. The club needs the money.
Finally, I believe that RD is back on the committee, or should be soon after the vote?
