Hi, I am Gerri Barnes-Hampton. I am an adult figure skater and an active member of one of the figure skating clubs.
 

I cannot understand the real motives behind why the "newisq" faction wish to remove every Councillor immediately and vote themselves into office without allowing other members to nominate, especially so close to the Annual General Meeting, where all Councillors step down and must be re-elected.

At first I believed what the Coup faction told me and I was horrified. Fortunately I obtained a copy of the Sport & Recreation Audit report  and read it cover to cover five times.

As a result of reading the whole Audit Report, I changed sides!!!

• It was a glowing report of success, wealth and good management. (Read it all!)

• Then I asked Don and Colin, various Councillors and the ISQ Administrator loads of other questions, and I keep asking more.

• I read the Ann Short's statement to the ISQ Council, explaining why she had retracted her signature and her support from the "newisq".

• I want to publish some truths  so you can ask questions for yourself and get some documentedd facts, as opposed to the fear-mongering rumours that the proposed Coup know are not true but spread because it is the easy way to get your vote! 

• I work with some of the key instigators so I know what they know.  For example:
  
  What did the Audit Report really say?
  
  Where else in the world do skaters have it so good?

I do not believe this is a fair and honourable way
to seek the changes we want!
