Right now back to my pocorn
Firstly thanks for this acknowledgement, it's very much appreciated. In running the club shop I have to balance my voluntary time against working full time, and using my Annual Leave sparingly to get to events in good time so that the stall is fully set up for Saturday morning of an event (as well as balance having a none-scootering life doing family things on some weekends, etc).challenger wrote:Obviously a part time volenteer Job and I can Respect that.
The one that is advertised in JetSet, the members magazine that goes out to over 5,000 members every 2 months and has at least one page of items available along with my contact details in each edition. If you don't have a JetSet to hand, my email address is: lcgbshop@btinternet.com If you advise what it is you would like to purchase, I'll forward images and check stock levels.challenger wrote: Which Club Shop would that be then?
Yes, this is something outside of my control unfortunately. I don't have the IT knowledge to do this myself. Following the website crash a holding page was set up, but unfortunately those other volunteers that look after the online presence of the club simply haven't had the time to rebuild an online club shop from scratch.challenger wrote: The online Shop thats been under construction Since May 2014?
Apologies, answered your questions out of sync, please see above.challenger wrote: Is there one that can be viewed by members only, or can you buy the club stuff at events, or
maybe per email ?
Agreed, and in hand now that Bridlington has effectively ended this years rally season and I should have a bit more spare time. Hoping to get something up and running in the coming months.challenger wrote: might be a good idea to get the online side Sorted out at last.
With an expected turnover of around £25,000 again this year, obviously people are actually buying things from the club shop.challenger wrote: who knows, people might actually buy something.
Interesting example you've used there, obviously there must have been some proof that this was happening? Which would have lead to your club fully investigating the evidence presented and found that takings were in fact being stolen?hendy wrote: Without recourse to challenge authority the club I used to race with would have continued to have its takings stolen on a regular basis, for example.
I didn't and have never accused you or anyone else of stealing from the club or anywhere else, Your committee have stated that I have not accused anyone of stealing, maybe your not singing from the same hymn sheet as the rest of them or maybe you don't know what was sent to me when I was informed I was banned.Toot-oasc wrote:Interesting example you've used there, obviously there must have been some proof that this was happening?

After all, for anyone to make an accusation of such a thing going on without being able to provide any evidence to back up such an accusation is potentially slanderous, isn't it?
Only saying like....
now compare that to the notice I got before that informing me that my membership had been revoked (suspended)Hi Eden
Apologies for the length of time in getting back to you, I have been ill.
The committee had their planned meeting earlier this month and discussed the issues around your interaction with members of the committee including the spat with Simon. There was a general feeling that although you may not of accused Simon of mis-using club fund, we felt you insinuated that could have been the case by suggesting he was funding a Jolly boys outing for his scooter club mates when taking the club shop to that rally abroad.
The members of the committee who have had dealing’s with you on the forum, social media or emails are sick of the constant arguments that you seem to generate, even the committee members who know you personally don’t understand why you feel the need to constantly cause these arguments. The committee give up their free time to run the club and we just don’t want to waste any more time dealing with your issues and arguments.
The committee has decided that It will ban you from all Club activities for 6 months ( 1st September to the 1st February ). If and when you decide to re-join the club you will be banned from the clubs Forum and other social media accounts for 1 year. If during this period you want to bring up any issues with the committee it will be done solely through myself or the Clubs Chairman Dave Welford, no other committee member will deal with any correspondence you send them.
You stated in an email to me not so long back that you just want to get on with riding your Lambretta, I hope that if you decide to re-join the club or not that you do just that and leave all the nonsense behind.

Hi Eden
After much discussion by the committee we feel that you have gone a step to far in accusing Toot of mis-using club funds on the LCGB forum, and as you have already stated you will not offer any form of apology your membership will now be revoked, and you will be unable to take any further part in club activities from this point onwards.
We could argue all day about the other issues you mentioned but although many people including committee members got wound up they were just different opinions amongst grown ups and no harm came of them, but your accusation against Toot took things to a different level and we as a committee have all agreed it can't go unanswered. To accuse one of the hardest working committee members of stealing from the club was shocking and totally un-called for.
If you decide to offer a full and un-reserved apology we will now consider that at a committee meeting to be held week beginning 3rd October, failing this the duration of your ban will be decided by the committee at the meeting in October and will be confirmed to you in writing afterwards.
