leave the sub comittee in peace and let them tell us there findings when they have found them
I think that was more or less implied in what I said.
There's a limit to how many sub committees, working groups and information-gathering excercises you can have though...
Have you ever seen "The Life of Brian"...

Is it fair to call what is happening procrastination? I mean, the main committee has to take things in an even handed fashion and not be press-ganged into a corner by a vociferous minority (which can easily happen at limited scenario's like AGMs). And, from my memory of events, most of the stringing along emanated from UKA who seemed to take forever to clarify he position on officials. Add to that the inevitable conflict of interests that occured within individuals who had positions within UKA as well as the FRA committee and you had the ideal conditions for discontent to brew. In that context, to send out a fact finding sub-committee seems a rational thing to do, even to those of us who are allergic to committees. Lets get the facts, unfiltered by polemic and lets hope we all have a chance to vote on the issue.

I don't like the word subcommittee either.
I think I prefer "five people who are willingly giving up their free time for nothing in an effort to ensure that the Association will make a decision based upon the best facts which can be obtained" - but that's a bit of a mouthful.
As for "procrastination"... all members are more than welcome to come and join us, and tell us how things can be done more efficiently.
I did actually ask for comments late last year (my email address is on the committee page) - I've had one so far ...
Well, we'll find out in the fullness of time whether "procrastination" was a fair word to use.
I imagine most members (like me) want this to be cleared up quickly and not rumble on until the next AGM, and UKA have already had more than one chance to clarify their stance.
I shall await with interest the outcome of the subcommittee's deliberations; I'm hoping for something decisive but if the answer is "let's give UKA more time to clarify its position/sort itself out/declare its undying love for fellrunning" I think I'll scream!
...so you were the "one" who sent views to Alan Brentnall were you?
What, you mean it wasn't you??
can't you read the label?
U.F.O.?.....
Look, if you've nothing constructive to say, why are you here?
