Not sure what you are getting at? I stayed till a new Treasurer was found. How can I be involved in what happens after that? I did have very good reasons for quitting here is not the place to discuss this.

This is a perfect place to discuss this. I see this long standing organization being totally attacked. Having met some of the officers I don't see any reason to believe there is any impropriety. There might have been some poor judgement.
My Point as far as you are concerned... you were in a position to make some cange. I'm guessing you were buffoled out. Whew... that sounds harsh. It's not meant to be.

I did make some changes which worked. Life unfortunately was made very difficult hence my move.However if I get into details the mods on here will close down the thread sorry.
Some of the officers are great you did not meet the top brass though at the Chester meet. I enjoyed meeting you.  Quote:

I think I did meet the top brass. The impression I got is that they are doing the best they can with what the have.
Note... I gave a talk in Chester and Milton Keynes. The folks I've delt with in the BCG have been nothing but fantastic. Quote:

"I'm guessing you were buffoled out", is not a term, I am familiar with but please do remember, that Boxgirl was reinstated as a member of the British Chelonia Group following the clear unanimous ruling from a Judge in a British Court. The "Top brass", as you call them from the British Chelonia Group were firmly criticised for their previously inappropriate and unconstitutional behaviour. No doubt, they would like to put the record straight on this point too? |

Thye would be you were a speaker.
I would also like the opportunity to be able to give lectures at these events I believe I have a lot to offer my husband also, but this is banned.My husband is not evenb allowed to give a 'free' talk to the West Midlands local region for fear of reprisals from the BCG committee. Maybe a post from you could invite them on to put their point of view. I am always willing to listen. Quote:
