[QUOTE="diggit, post: 453442, member: 3031"] So like many others I had multiple reasons not to attend tonight and those were the reasons that I could only manage to attend from 7.30pm to 8pm My daughter had to be dropped off @7pm and picked up @ 8.30pm so unfortunately the window of opportunity was narrow. This meant that I missed the start and the end of the presentation/discussion and was only treated to the wishy-washy waffle of those who see the lock out as a 'fait accompli' imho. Personally I think there are grounds to argue that the VEAC board didnt make reasonable attempts to contact those affected by their proposed actions. For example a figure of 7,000 miners rights holders were not contacted directly. Their excuse was they only contact license holders in the vicinity of the affected area. I dont think this is a reasonable process. Sending out seven thousand letters to notify miners rights holders of VEACs proposals is reasonable. Talking to a few prospecting clubs is not the way to reasonably inform miners rights holders. So VEAC have not made reasonable attempts to inform those affected. Doing adverts is not a resaonable way to inform people, not when you can easily obtain the details of each miners right holder. As I knew I was only going to be there for 30 minutes so I had to be a bit [i]robust [/i]in getting RMOutbacks question above put forward as there were many questioning arms raised in the room! Also I had to walk out in the middle of proceedings to ensure my daughter was collected on time, [b]I know[/b].....how rude?! Oh well, my gut feeling is not positive about the whole thing but I'm hoping BigWave will have better news as surely he'll have a more holistic view as he would have been there for the whole thing. Room was full so thats good! [/QUOTE]
