I haven't posted or been to any meetings lately, and there are those of you that don't know me, or may say that it's none of my business. However, I am a (paid up) member of the SIDC, and have a right to vote for who I want as the Kent RO. As I haven't seen any alternative names proposed yet that would or could contribute as much as Pele has, she still has my vote.
In addition, don't confuse the role of the SIDC RO with that of running Kent Scoobies, although both jobs are carried out by Pele, and are unpaid, time consuming and thankless ones.
Mindful that Kent Scoobies and the SIDC are two different entities, if the Kent SIDC members are looking for a new RO, then I believe only full SIDC members should make proposals and cast a vote.
Having read a number of the posts on the subject, I have to add that I think it is insulting and damn rude that those that contribute nothing to SIDC and /or KS feel they have a right to lambast Pele when things don't go as they like, especially on an open forum for all to see.
For the record, I attended my first KS meeting nearly 2 years ago, and it was Pele who 1st introduced herself and welcomed me to the club. It was a club of 2 halves then, and sad to say remains so.
