Jumped ship ?

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.

You'd be in a better position on the board I'd have thought but that's just my Opinion.

That is how it must always be.

My opinion also.

Better D'Art on the inside looking out than the outside looking in...

I said  just over a week or so ago it had been an unmitigated shambles.

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.

Was it cleared up how Blair could veto board decisions and that only he is signatory to the bank account?

A great number of posters on here have the utmost of respect for yourself .

Would you consider taking up your role again ?. 

Club 1872 needs you .

No bud I wont take a directorship - but happy to help the organisation in any way I can.

So the fuckers have released a half decent statement for once.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

"Did you and yours ?" 

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.

To me the RSA is the Association. Do you think the Assembly was effective?

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.

Ok good. It appears we agree.
