To a large extent I agree with both of you, the fact remains the function was a farce, in the last few months Tony has not been a well man so I can sympathise with the fact he has not been around to get things going, but he not the only person on the committe, so to say it was a simple mistake does not wash, if all you want from a reunion is to meet up with old mates and have a few cheep beers thats fine, as gusty pointed out a better time was had on the Friday night. In the past sugestions and complaints have been put to the commitee only to be dismissed out of had with out a vote.
Sounds a bit like this bag of ****e government. I dont know what to suggest mate perhaps someone from the committee who reads this forum could email Taff and Stormy and get things squared away, it might be a good thing if more people give feedback either negative or positive about reunions and club issues thus leading to a good day out for everyone.
Gotta go just farted and touched cloth
Yet again another good suggestion, why didn't you have them in when you were in? Or was it no one would listen. That sound familiar?
The reunion was at best a cheap option but when you consider the travelling costs and B&B costs not too mention the shopping to keep the missus from being bored then it all adds up. The location needs to be looked at so it is an easy commute and things to occupy in the day, as was mentioned in an earlier email, some of the members are still fairly young which means bringing kids etc and not too mention are working.
The commitee will never meet all the needs of its members but to quote a good old BT phrase "its good to talk"
Hopefully Lincoln will be a start to improvements, which judging by comments won't be too hard.
ok i better get organising i will be looking at free entry to lincoln castle, the cathedral and museum of lincs life, plus maybe a inter bty cricket match with bbq on the saturday plus a band on the saturday night, a minimal raffle with 3 big prizes plus maybe a seperate gambling area with roulette and blackjack,i am just thinking out loud at the moment but the aim is to make it one of the best attended so some sort of networking list?
