Do you mean when I resigned over a matter of principe and values & which I felt compromised the organisation ? Surely these things happen though on many boards I guess, but now you have resigned you can't affect change from the outside looking in.

I disagree. In a members led organisation the member's should always have the power to effect necessary change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its now up to 3 Directors with the re-engagement with Laura and Joanne. So do you disagree with the statement they have issued - ie you dont feel there is a particularly toxic agenda led campaign against our manager, by certain sections of the media ? Its rather obvious its the case. You do not need to preach to the long term converted. I stopped buying the Rhebel years ago , as did my entire family,after a pro IRA editorial . Did you and yours? Todays statement to me is a bit toothless. Targeting these peoples employers is the only way you stand any chance of getting a result. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast 9,265 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 So the fuckers have released a half decent statement for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob I spent part of my military career fighting the IRA - do you think Im going to purchase a newspaper which has pro IRA editorials ? In terms of overall effectiveness I would agree with you - the most effective way of stopping this is to ensure their sales slump. However I dont think naming and shaming the main protaganists, and highlighting their unedifying conduct does any harm either. We need to get the message out there to fellow bears - buying or subscribing to the organisations who employ these people is basically funding a hate fest against our club.

It wasn't without it's faults I admit, but the structure is what C1872 should be based on. As I said: Each RSC has one representative. If you're not in an RSC, then you can join as an independent. Every rep (including a rep for the independents) votes for a chairman and a board for a 2 or 3 year tenure 1 rep / 1 vote. Additionally, after your time is up, then you can't stand again for 3/4/5 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
