OK, I've read several pages of this thread and there are many valid concerns one way and the other. As I see it the club/committee have acted on pressure created by financial strain, which those of us who were at the AGM heard about.
Many issues have clearly been addressed at the most recent committee meeting, we must bear in mind that the committee members are Volunteers and are geographically challenged hence the need to get as much sorted round one table in one visit. I think it's very easy to forget that the members responsible act in our/the clubs best interests and almost certainly will not please all of the people all of the time.
Whether we all agree with the new BB rules or not, they have clearly been well discussed and argued over between committee members and this is what has been agreed. Personally I think we all need to calm down, stop shooting each other, allow the changes to filter in and allow them to be tweeked as necessary, if it's wrong I'm very sure it will be put right in due coarse.
Slanging each other off, and frankly being childish in reply to others is not what made this club great.
These are clearly challenging times for the WSCC, we must all pull in the same direction, take a bit of pain and move forward. As I see it if we continue to p*** off our volunteer committee members, club stewards and area organisers, before long we will not have a club. Fact.
Long live a successfull and prosperous WSCC!!
