Goodbye

[DrDick&Vick]

Alas, poor GAGB I knew it well.
Now is the time that I feel I have to say a complete goodbye before I say things that should not be said.

I shall be gone a while and may not bother returning. :wacko:

I am sorry you have resigned but I know we will keep in touch

Richard, that's just plain daft - all it means is that there's one less reasonable (And knowledgeable) voice to argue against the morons !

Richard,
after reading the latest batch of attacks on our poor organisation - who'se only object is to try and support all UK cachers I am getting to the point where I agree entirely with you - I see no point in trying to update the landowner agreements now as most of the cachers (if we only have 500 of the 8000 cachers) seem to think that we shouldn't look after them anyway - As I said before I shall not be standing for election this time and its only the updating of new members that stops me from resigning right now. :wacko::wacko:

That's not the case at all. Yes, the GAGB represents a minority of cachers but hosting the GLAD is a useful function which benefits all 8000, not just the 500. Yes a few people have criticised the GAGB for hosting it and a huge majority have expressed no opinion, but many more have supported it.

And to get back on topic, Sorry to see you giving up Richard.

Certain people Mr Nobbs ? My name's quite obviously Bob !

I used the word because there's been a continuous stream of criticism of the committee with quite a lot seemingly aimed at Dick - one person in particular appeared to take Dicks old tagline as meaning that he'd been in prison when anybody with an ounce of common sense realised that it was actually a bit of humour ! The result of all of the criticism and stupidity is that the GAGB has effectively lost one of it's most staunch supporters and a wealth of knowledge.

I seriously doubt that the majority of those critics will give any of their time to the GAGB and a cynic could be forgiven for thinking that it's all part of a scheme to destroy the GAGB

Standing on the sidelines sniping is dead easy - if the critics had any guts they'd get involved and move the organisation forward but I won't be holding my breath waiting for it to happen

It's a terrible shame you feel like this Richard, There are a few people who have disagreed with aspects of the GAGB and have been debating the points. Surely the organisation welcomes this as everyone always says to try and effect change from within.
Despite the fact that when anyone does certain people feel the need to refer to them as morons.

Take it easy mate and see you soon.
