Well I for one would not like to be on one of your committees then Marshman if that is the way you think they should be run.
"Chairing is a key role on any voluntary Committee. The Chairperson must ensure that the Committee functions properly, that there is full participation during meetings, that all relevant matters are discussed and that effective decisions are made and carried out."
Although the Chairman may have a vote on such committee, no swaying of opinion should be made by said Chairman. Should allow flexibility and freedom of speech, ensure full participation and weigh up contributions impartially.
this does not seem to be the way in Yare House
