Ructions: Difference between revisions

Dave kept the post over the summer holidays. On the first day of the following term an election was held, with Rowan having been nominated. He stated in the meeting that if he were to take on the post he would need the support of the officership. He aimed to ensure that YSTV pulled together as a team again, and was duly elected. He served as Station Director for the rest of 2004/5, which was widely seen to be a very successful for year for the station, culminating in the winning of Highly Commended [[Best Broadcaster]] at [[NaSTA 2005]] in Loughborough.

James left the society, although to his credit he attended the [[YUMAs]] the following week.  He went on to become chair of Halifax College, and returned to YSTV the following year in this position as a panellist on [[Bona Dicta]].  Finally he stood unsuccessfully for YUSU President in March 2007 before graduating from York that summer.

 

The period between the AGM and EGM of No-Confidence was just four week and three days, however it's fair to say it felt like longer for those involved.  It is hoped that future members, who have either heard the tale from those who were there or by reading this account, will learn from the mistakes made during that period on all sides, and avoid the politicised in-fighting that made Summer 2004 such an uncomfortable period.
