Resignation fromCommittee

[alwaysinjured]

Although I can understand your point of view,I have to differ from you here Mike. I'm on a few committees as well as you know. The Club committee and Lancs AA function very well, but perhaps the one I've been involved with that impresses me most is the Red Rose Cross Country League which is run really well by my friend from Rossy, Steve Duxbury.
I have seen some people land on committees for the wrong reasons, but they don't tend to last that long or have much impact.
I was asked a few years ago to stand in for Alan Barlow at a CAU meeting as he couldn't make it. I had a real good feeling about that group as well. Very welcoming, immersed in the sport and with the welfare of the sport in their hearts.

The days of carlings "boring old farts" are probably long since done. It is the best part of a decade since I was much involved, and I am sure things have moved on, although the decisions of guys like collins, at the time of Bejing, and athlete contracts that allow such people to override athletes and own coaches, complete with gagging clauses, Illustrated the mentality of that generation.

I have to say I avoid committees, for the main part I just had to live with decisions. I much preferred running a hammer event, to talking about one! I guess I also consider officialdom together, committees and senior graded officials in blazers, where in reality they are two different things.
