Not meaning to talk for Scott, but maybe the point is why does anyone need an excuse. And, if an excuse is needed, who rates what is a good enough excuse. As stated very well by Slap, its volunteer!!!!!! No excused needed. And, I understand this was not on the agenda, it came from the floor. It wasn't expected. And, on the important things that could be talked about, how about audit requirements for the clubs to ensure the member's money is taken care of. That makes a lot more sense than taking away passes from someone who thought time with his family was more important than sitting in a voluntary meeting.
