One of our members is throwing weight about” “taking over other people’s jobs” and is causing problems with other members including the membership secretary and event secretary. I would like to know if anyone else has ever come across this issue. It really is starting to cause considerable problems amongst the entire committee.

We had a similar issue that went on for a number of months. In the end we approached both The Civic Trust and the Regional Committee for assistance. All I can say is that it took us a number of months to get the person in question removed. As a first port of call I think you should speak to the Regional Committee to see if it has happened in your region as they may have come across similar situations. If you provide me your email I am happy to give you a more detailed version of the issues we came across.
