PART III

§ The Discussion of the next Site-One Association was commenced.

§ The Motion was made to hold a Reunion every two years, date TBD. The motion was seconded and voted on, carrying with a clear majority of ‘Yes’.

§ The motion was put forward and seconded to hold the next Reunion at Charleston S.C. The motion was discussed/debated. It was suggested that having the Reunion in the U.S., specifically Charleston; would allow the participation of a greater amount of former shipmates who are unable to make passage to Scotland. Also, that a U.S. based Reunion would allow the Association a better chance to grow. This motion was contested by the philosophy that Holy Loch/Dunoon should remain the common denominator for future Reunions. After a fair amount of discussion a vote was taken on the Motion to hold the next Reunion in Charleston, S.C. USA. By show of hands the ‘Yes’ carried the motion with a heavy majority. There were a small minority voting ‘No’.

§ A Motion was put forward that the Reunion should be held in Dunoon, Scotland at least every Four years (alternating with possible future US locations). The Motion was Seconded, then Carried by a show of hands in Majority.

§ A Motion was put forward that the decision future Reunion’s be held in Scotland at least every Four Years be written into the Site-One Association Charter/Bylaws. The Motion was Seconded and carried by a majority vote.

§ A Motion was put forward that selection of the date for the Reunion in 2003 be moved to the Association Web Page for popular vote. The motion was Seconded and carried with a majority.
