CBWRA asked Rendall and Rittner to reinstate automatic fee deduction because ”MOD likely to run” and they ”need funds to assist their cause” in Chair elections

It has recently emerged (emails which I have seen between CBWRA and Rendall and Rittner) that in January 2023, shortly before the Chair elections, a member of the CBWRA committee apparently asked Rendall and Rittner to reintroduce automatic collection of CBWRA membership fees from the service charge (the withdrawal of which had severely reduced CBWRA’s income) because the committee were aware that ”MOD was likely to run as chair” and the CBWRA committee ”needs funds to assist their cause”. Rendall and Rittner did not grant CBWRA’s request but what exactly did CBWRA hope to do with such funds if they had obtained them?. The use of any CBWRA funds to assist any candidate in an election (or to hinder another candidate in any way) would have been in contravention of the constitution and wholly inappropriate, so it would be useful for CBWRA to clarify what they meant by ”assist their cause” in relation to me standing for Chair. In my view, this is just further proof (as if any were needed) of the appalling lack of governance in CBWRA and a very broken moral compass and I believe it also shows how scared they are of a fair and free election.
