[committee] Restrictions on group applications for freshers

[Jonathan Van buren]

The thing is Cain (and other freshers) HAS shown to be trustworthy on many
occasions. Yes his list does not stand up to Ash's but he is an active club
member (he is here almost as much as me), he is polite and actually fairly
well knowing. For instance i recall one time  he needed a refund for a bad
dispense (this was shortly after the new dispense came in) and when he asked
me I said i was not quite sure how to use the new refund system. What
surprised me was instead of giving up or harassing me to learn to do it, he
simply looked up how to do it himself then showed me. The only reason i am
emailing back and forth for this cause is i do NOT believe he is being given
a fair application here. He displays many of the traits that would make him
and excellent coke memeber (and a good door member for that fact) and yet is
being turned down because of this stigma that 6 months is the minimum time
to earn peoples trust. I'm not sure about other people but i say he HAS
earned many peoples trust and has time and time again shown himself to be
more responsible then i would expect from any fresher (and most other club
memebers). While i do not speak for everyone i sencerily wish that you
atleast give him the chance to speak for himself at a committee meeting and
maybe attempt to get to know him as a person before you shut him down over
this 6 month thing.
