Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg Appendices 7 and 8 – Incomplete minutes. In this concluding documentation, you can see that in the minutes the board actively participated in concealing the events that took place at the general meeting. Read Claus Plum’s minutes, which differ so much from the owner’s experience of the evening that one might think the two men had attended different events.

Incidentally, neither the business club’s board nor the trio behind the initiative group has responded to the owner’s call to publish the accusations Torben Lindvang made at the general meeting. The owner wrote: ‘It does not surprise me that Lindvang and his friends did not want their statement of accusations to appear in writing in the minutes – but it is astonishing that the club’s board has participated in that game. I therefore urge that Lindvang’s accusations be brought into the light so that everyone who was not present can judge for themselves what he is accusing me of.

I stand by my statements – do Torben Lindvang, Claus Ewers and Erik Damsgaard do so too?’ Read all the documentation in the appendices. Appendix 7 – Claus Plum’s minutes: https://site.dybbolbanke.dk/es5-mail-7-referat-es Appendix 8 – the owner’s experience of the evening: https://site.dybbolbanke.dk/bilag1-es5-mail-8-cg Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg consists of 55 members representing major private and public businesses, presumably all with a well-worded policy on ethics, morality and their relationship with freedom of expression. Companies such as Danske Bank A/S, Sydbank A/S, Jyske Bank A/S, Danfoss A/S, Ramboll Group A/S, Broager Sparekasse, EY Danmark A/S, Larsen Strings A/S, Brdr.

Ewers A/S, Danimex A/S, Eegholm A/S, Auto Lindvang A/S, OJ Electronics A/S, Home A/S, Swipbox International A/S, Advokathuset Muurholm and many more. The club also includes several city councillors, a member who socialises privately with the Royal Household, and a member of Parliament, Ellen Trane Nørby (V). Venstre’s new city council candidate Kjeld Stærk is also a club member.

Since Venstre is actually credited with much of the achievement of freedom of expression in Denmark, it is surprising that neither of the two Venstre politicians has contributed to the debate. The initiative group responsible for the conflict in Erhvervsklubben consists of Claus Ewers, Torben Lindvang and Erik Damsgaard (OJ Electronics A/S). Many thanks to them for drawing attention to the new trends in what was once a club focused on cooperation, positive synergy and growth in Sønderborg.

Behind closed doors. Looking back seems to indicate a more closed style in Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg. During the previous local election campaign in 2017, the club’s election meeting was an open event.

In 2021, it is a closed event with invited guests, registration and a discussion guided by predetermined topics. https://www.sonderborgnyt.dk/video/tv-strategierne-for-soenderborg-kommune-kan-fokuseres/ (This post has previously appeared on our Facebook page.)

Læs Claus Plums referat, der afviger så meget fra ejerens oplevelse af aftenen - at man skulle tro, at de to mænd havde deltaget i forskellige arrangementer. I øvrigt har hverken bestyrelsen i erhvervsklubben eller trioen bag initiativgruppen reageret på ejerens opfordring til at offentliggøre de anklager, Torben Lindvang fremførte på generalforsamlingen. ejeren skrev: ”Det undrer mig ikke, at Lindvang og hans venner ikke ønskede at deres anklageskrift kom ud på tryk i referatet - men det er forbavsende, at klubbens bestyrelse har deltaget i det spil.

Derfor opfordrer jeg til, at Lindvangs anklager bør komme frem i lyset, så alle, der ikke var til stede, selv kan vurdere, hvad han anklager mig for.

Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg
Erhvervsklubben Sønderborg consists of 55 members representing major private and public businesses, presumably all with a well-worded policy on ethics, morality and their relationship with freedom of expression. Businesses such as:
Danske Bank A/S, Sydbank A/S, Jyske Bank A/S, Danfoss A/S, Ramboll Group A/S, Broager Sparekasse, EY Danmark A/S, Larsen Strings A/S, Brdr. Ewers A/S, Danimex A/S, Eegholm A/S, Auto Lindvang A/S, OJ Electronics A/S, Home A/S, Swipbox International A/S, Advokathuset Muurholm and many more.

The club also includes several municipal councillors, a member who socialises privately with the royal household, and a member of parliament (Ellen Trane Nørby (V)). Venstre’s new municipal council candidate, Kjeld Stærk, is also a member of the business club. As Venstre is actually credited with much of the achievement of securing freedom of expression in Denmark, it is surprising that neither of the two Venstre politicians has contributed anything to the debate.

The initiative group responsible for the conflict in Erhvervsklubben consists of Claus Ewers, Torben Lindvang and Erik Damsgaard (OJ Electronics A/S). Many thanks to them for drawing attention to the new trends in what was once a club focused on cooperation, positive synergy and growth in Sønderborg.
