This decision, in my view, is diametrically opposite to what was agreed in
June. Leadership without consultation is not leadership at all. I am very
concerned. Unfortunately with 2 kids and increased work commitments my
ability/desire to influence outcomes with this group is dwindling. If the
NSW champs are not to continue we may not see each other for a long time my
friends

Hello to Andrew and others that have emailed me privately,
I will happily run a NSW Champs if the Exec can find a suitable long
weekend
(not January).
As most seem to agree the hobby is dying, so I guess if the Exec have got
it
right they may have found a heart-starter in Albury, and if they are wrong
it's just another nail.....
Craig.
