my mistake: misread an email: only ten people turned up to a meeting of ten, making it a meeting of 20. The email I'm referring to was from a member of the committee which described the 10 as "gatecrashers".Ten (not twenty or "scores of") members turned up at the Kendal meeting
Personally I think the committee do a good job. Other people are in a better position than I am to discuss these issues at that level. But when I see people being called all sorts of names, threads being deleted and locked, the Constitution being deliberately manipulated and people with genuine concerns for safety and the future of the sport being ignored and sidelined, that is a cause for concern.
