Those who had my post removed - was it factually incorrect? Perhaps you could set the record straight if it was.........................that's OK I'll wait - I have all the time in the world - and may I suggest, given what appears to be the sorry state of participation and formal membership in...

Wouldn't it be of considerable merit if the TBA did a Harvey Norman [$6 million refund to the Feds just announced] and paid back it's Job Keeper benefits. Imagine the immense and positive publicity the organisation and by association the sport would garner from such a move. Not to mention the...

Says all I need to know Sean.

.........................wouldn't that be a great contribution Sean. Then the TBA could be put alongside other entities like Santos, Domino's Pizza and Toyota who have returned Job Keeper in full. What a fine upstanding example they would set to both their members and to other sporting...

Funny thing is Sean I spent a few very worthwhile years working for the ATBC. Some people saw it advantageous to close it down - there of course was simply one reason it was closed down [everything else coughed up as justification is simply smoke and mirrors] and it's been largely downhill from...

I see the TBA has a new member of the board replacing Jo Babic who had vast tenpin experience - an ex rugby player - I'm sure that will be helpful. Is the TBA out to set some sort of record, perhaps more directors and senior staff than the Italians have had governments since the end of...

A fine summary Sean.........he is all you have said and more..as for those who turned him away...............................well what can one say.

In the 1951 movie A Streetcar Named Desire Marlon Brando's character has one of the most famous short scenes ever filmed, at least according to movie buffs - just nine words.....and this scene seems so appropriate right now.

Interesting - there was once a minimum requirement of notice for an AGM - I don't recall exactly but it was certainly NOT just 48 hours. But then I'm sure the TBA wouldn't make such an error in giving incorrect notice and by doing so have the meeting scrapped as null and void. One might expect...

I'm guessing but I'd say it was unlikely any of the senior staff located in Melbourne turned up at Keon Park on the weekend to see the John Sullivan Event and meet bowlers [that would be the TBA's customers]. If someone did well that's a good thing and I happily stand corrected - so long as...

Rob very well done if I may say - whilst I have never been an analyst of the ATBC/TBA constitution [I am far to dim] it is at this time a very relevant consideration and those like you [and most certainly Sean] who do have an analytical mind for the essential fundamentals are as rare has hens...

It's a reaction that is common Dale when people know they are a mile out of their depth..............they simply pull down the shutters. Sean, have a break, a beer or two and stay off this thing for a while and then you'll be OK. Keep smiling mate.

Hhmmm let me see......................... Business analysis bull dust theory 101 is exactly what people generate when they are paid by quantity of effort rather than quality of effort. It is also generic bumf that indicates they know next to nothing about the realities of the specific industry...

..................well one mans place of worship is another mans bowling centre Sean. :) I understand, from a recent conversation, but of course the person I spoke to could be very, very wrong, that one of the current directions of the TBA is to package service providers [you know soft drink...

...............whilst you are at it Sean let's add - given it's close to Easter - that He might also make an appearance - I'd say the odds of either happening are about the same. Oh ............I shared a house with John for a number of years - a few of us were able to slow down his brilliant...

Oh Ok .........................so.................something is [definitely] rotten in the state Denmark

If I wanted to talk to, you know as in speak with, using my actual voice - I know it's uncommon and everything is now done electronically, but humour me, I'm old fashioned - one of the senior staff of the TBA it appears [and I am happy to be corrected, please someone tell me I have missed...

I have this great gift Sean I can see the future, it's blurry but clear enough for me to say without fear of contradiction that you will not, let me repeat NOT require astronaut training. Unfortunately my "gift" does not allow me to see next Saturday's lotto numbers. Still I guess we can't...

A bureaucracy would be almost acceptable - but what we have, by all accounts, set to fall into place in Melbourne is a clique. Yo, Ho, Ho on us.

It's a good commentary Sean. I hope the TBA people at least have the courtesy and business acumen to respond accordingly - they certainly have that obligation - of that there should be no doubt. You've boxed on well Sean, thrown punches and stepped back to see what comes your way - it seems to...

How Warren Stewart isn't on the board simply escapes me.............he should be first pick of any individual in this country when bowling is being seriously discussed. He understands the business, the sport and the industry..............he's been around since Adam was a boy so he has a...

Daz - it's human nature - someone will get into their shell like and that will be that..............drawn like moths to a flame..and the only reason I bother, because I know they will read it or someone will relay what's being written and maybe, although I hold no real hope, some of it might...

Interesting I have a few thoughts............................did Cara know of these plans for relocation? If no, and if she had, would it have made a difference to her decision to depart? Was a relocation to Melbourne in the plans to ensure the new CEO was interested in the position? Was the...

Maybe Terry you have a big enough kitchen table ;)

I might have some faith in the process if the people involved in formulating that same process didn't appear to be the blind leading the blind.
