Gavin j frankland are you Gav Bloa on this forum?
If not who is Gav Bloa.....its getting a bit confusing.

Is he speaking for you or is he up to mischief?

So you flatly refuted that GavBLOA wasn't you and yet......

viewtopic.php?p=301941#p301941

But the most pertinent quote in your / GavBLOAs response was:
" I have brought BLOA back to life, nothing to do with LCGB as what I've stated. I have copyrights to the name and badge because I feel it should not be left behind and forgot about. "

I was for a long time unsure about the BLOA thing, at first I was looking forward to a new group / club trying to inject something fresh into the scene and was unaware of the BLOA / LCGB issues, Sywell was looking good, a few mates are doing it though I suspect are unaware of or don't care about the furore that's occuring. However, as things have become more public I can see why the LCGB are doing what they are.
Additionally, your disrespectful and patronising tone as well as your continued deflection of any legitimate question or challenge simply belies the simple truth: You've been caught out and cannot accept it.
Donnie.

Nice to see scooters bringing everyone together, all part of ‘the scene’ etc...

Yes...that was a vitriolic thread as well.
Interesting reading to neutral observers.

Very similar to this thread in some ways.
I just hope all parties can reach a satisfactory and amicable outcome.
I doubt it though this could rumble on for quite a while.
Its quite sad seeing people ripping into each other.

I heard that he had split from his Mrs and only Vietnamese citizens can run businesses so he had to close?

Are you implying he's moved here and started a club?

Randall , IIRC,had a good working knowledge of written english?
This thread is becoming embarrasing for the "2" Gavs and I feel for them both, I wish they could realise how much they are damaging their venture and retire gracefully without causing further damage to their fledgling club/business.

So basically, after nearly 400 responses, we’ve learned that...

BLOA was part of LCGB roots many years ago, though not legally ‘protected’ as such today. Gavin Frankland has started a new club and trademarked the name. LCGB are contesting that trademark, and appear to have spent £7000 on that process with the IPO, but not yet instigated any formal legal action, as it’s the IPO ruling which will be the cornerstone of any such wrangling. Pending that IPO ruling, everyone is in limbo. Everything else is conjecture, speculation and opinion...

So no further on than when the thread first started then
