Firstly, apologies for the expletives in my earlier post - it wasn't neccessary and there are more reasonable ways of expressing my frustration so again, please accept my apologies.
That said, I still stand my my original point, and my frustraion stems from the fact that every one of you were given the opportunity to either express your thoughts and/or get involved to make a difference. We can only go on the opinions expressed before a decision is made, we have no magic crystal ball - we can't predict what's going to happen or if someone will disagree with a decision.
Time and time again we see the same pattern, members (and quite rightly non-members) will be asked for input or their opinion on a matter and the response isn't exactly forthcoming. Only once said decision is made do members pipe up with their concerns.
Every one of the committee care deeply about the club and sometimes, as a result, it's difficult to restrain that. There's not one committee member who hasn't gone out of their way to do their absolute best for the club with nothing but good intentions so it's incredibly frustrating to see those good intentions called into question over what was essentially a mistake.
Again, apologies for the expletives, I tend not to post on the off the cuff but the earlier posts truck a chord.
