So why would you expect them to provide training for using electronic scoring?
Clubs needed to teach their players how to score in the past, and they still need to in the present.
As for travel:
Goodwood, 3.4kms south of king william square
Gepps Cross (who seem to get the AGM every year), 8.6kms north of king william square.
Seems on average, the northern clubs are being favoured.
For what it's worth, I'd actually support more online meetings, and think announcements and 'briefings' from the association could be done via that podcast they run. That way all clubs can watch it at their own pace, at a time that suits. Equally, it's not just the delegate that gets the message then, any player at a club can listen to the same message directly if they wanted (we all know some delegates don't pass on the information accurately, or sometimes at all).
With that said, i believe ATCA have been reluctant to go to this model, as there are a number of clubs who simply won't pay attention. They'll log in and ignore the discussion. By at least forcing them to send 1 person, to sit in the room, there is a chance they'll absorb some of what is being said.
