Cowrinkle: Our owner has disappeared on us. Don't know what has happened and hope he is alright. In the meantime, what can we do if anything to appoint a new owner? I was the original owner and turned it over to him a couple of years ago. Now, I have members asking me to take it back. Any suggestions short of starting a new club? We are at level 20.
This happened to me so I feel the pain. The starting response is correct. WGT will not remove owner.
You have to (1) create a new club or (2) merge with one.
I see you are a director. Check permissions. Maybe you can email all club members. When my owner disappeared, directors had permission to email club-wide. So we had the ability to invite members to new newly created club.
It didn't work perfectly for 2 reasons. 1. club members do not check email. 2. some are not committed. But ultimately, we got 60 of 90 members back and it became the basis of a new club. It did take 6 months, and we have expanded since then.
Go for it.
I am happy to admit active members from your club, you included of course, if you want to go that route.
