Hi All
It has been pointed out to me by our Chairman that on more than one occasion I have over stepped the mark when it comes to my posts here and things I have done within the Association.
I have tried my best to represent the views of members that have approached me and started many threads here to find out the opinions of others that have not so that I could take the boat in the right direction. It seems that I have got this wrong and Upset, Annoyed and frustrated many people along the way.
All the Projects I have worked on, Carbon Mast, Finding Prices for Boat Builds, Getting John Claridge involved in Building Moths again, Moderating the Forum, Trying to Reduce Sail Prices, The amount of Sommerville Venues, Changes to the National Format, Deck Mould Project for the B.M.B.A Hull, A finished B.M.B.A Moth ready to sell, the request for Committee Volunteers and for Membership renewals were all down to me and in no way represent the views of the Committee. If any of that has offended anyone I am very sorry.
I had canvased lots of opinions before most of the above and believed I was working with the backing of the members and the Committee. It appears this is not the case.
I have been asked to remove several of my resent posts {Not sure which ones at this point} and also asked that before I post in future anything that may been seen as the views of the Committee to seek approval 1st.
I am very passionate about our boat and have been trying to build the fleet, make our Moths more accessible and make it future proof. I now feel that I have been pushing against the majority of what members want, and that is clearly not good.
Because of this and a few other smaller Issues I have decided to remove my services from the Committee from today. It was always a one year deal anyway so only going a little early. I am sorry to leave people in the learch but I can not continue to work without the backing of the Committee and Members as it is not fair on any of you or myself.
I have handed over all my responsibilities to the Chairman.
Thanks to everyone who has joined in the Threads I have started.
