Thank you for such a enlightened post Lyn, I think you really need to read some of the posts again.
How come it's always everyones last post on here because they cant stand reading the truth. I have always said the truth hurts. Most people sit around keeping there mouths shut because they don't want to rock the boat. Others like to say things out loud, like they did at Norwood roll off for Rachuig whining who the selectors are, only to have to explain themselves to the powers that are, and POSSIBLY be threatened to have there membership revoked. All fairy tales true or not, I don't really care for those games, but if I am ever confronted by those same people I would hesitate in expressing my opinion. They call it "freedom of speech". You may have heard of it. I have always said in many of my posts the people that do the jobs for nothing should get paid and I have said I would gladly increase my membership to cover there costs PROVIDING the job is done by the right people and done right. They deserve it.
Even though this forum is a open forum, the whole point is to get information positive or not back to the community something which is not always done mind you. Most of the comments for this state is done is the South Australian section of total bowling. Thats the whole idea isn't it. The fact anyone can read it well, we dont have anything to hide, do we.
You have been around to see thing's , well so have most of us , and some were involved in a big way when some of the ones around today we just kids or people that were just never around then.
You said.....
Strop, Chin and others. I know are seasoned bowlers, go to Lyn and her team, tell them what you want, suggest things to the committees, don't make it an open forum on the www, would you do that to your employer???? I don't think so.
Tell what you want? If they are new at it, then shouldn't they be asking for a little help themselves? Most people in new positions get trained or a little guidance, is this the case, or are they relying on instinct.
As paying membership customers wouldn't it be nice on the TBASA site to see a little info on who the committee is and a brief info on there Background.???
I am quite happy for anyone to get on here and say Tony you are just wrong in what you say, But I see is just people say dont be negative or stop bitching. Fine no problem, I too can sit back and say nothing and be blind and get on here and give everyone a pat on the back for doing such a good job.
Well which is it?
The truth or the b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.
The fact is lyn even if i did offer any help, they just would listen anyway because it's just me. I think they would rather work there way around the room with the lights off.
I will tell you now about being personnel was never any intention of that only the position they held. Lyn and Bob from the few words we have spoken are very nice people, they even have a son that shows a lot of promise, as far as Jo goes well I think theres too much history with us to be any different than what it seems. we all have our nice moments and our dark moments , but unfortunately i have seen her in a different light, namely queensland rachuig dinner, a story I wont go into. We all have our done sides even me I have plenty. However my passion for the game not only as a bowler but a tournament organiser for many years still exists and always will because I learn't from the best there ever was.
Anyway I have waffled enough.................
You take care, in what ever you do. Not sure where you fit into all this, Deveer or ???
Cheers
Tony
