Dear (?) All
I understand from Basil that today the field had a visitor bearing gifts.
The widow of an ex-Canterbury member (Roger Fagg?) took the trouble of bringing
a car load of untouched kits (6-8) for distribution to "those that wanted them"
Those present then selfishly proceeded to "cherry-pick" the kits they wanted
without a thought for other club members who were not fortunate enough to be on
the field at the time.
It must be fairly obvious that the kind-hearted lady thought the club would
benefit as a whole.
In my opinion, to be fair to all members, the kits should have been set aside
for auction at the AGM (or EGM), with proceeds going into club funds. That way
everybody has a chance at selecting a kit, paying a fair price and the other
members benefit as well by virtue of the swelled funds. If unsold at auction,
then they can be picked, for others have had fair warning.
I call upon those who "grabbed" one (or more!) of the kits to return them to
club officers so that their worth can be realised for the good of all.
And not the selfish. Shame on you. If that is what club "mates" do, then I'm
not sure I wish to be associated with them.
Regards
Mike A
