Yes, unlikely that identity would be discovered, it’s probably just the years of oppression!
Apologies, I meant I had read an online article of a local paper. Although on checking it was a Welsh national paper. I had already read about Chew Valley. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/boat-club-treasurer-fraud-cheques-22111524.amp |

It amaze me why, with so many clubs out there, people feel so wedded to one club in particular that they feel the need to try to change decades of club culture.
If you dont like the way the club operates dont be a part of it - leave If you dont like the club culture - leave If you dont feel welcome - leave Its simple. no need to waste your time, you'll never change it on your own. Posting on here for help doesn't really help you because many of us are/have been committee members, commodores, membership secs etc and will know that there is probably another side to this story.

As I said previously many have gone and done something else. But they shouldn’t have to.
However there is little choice in the locality. People have been kicked out for no reason, simply for raising concerns against others in this clique. If you cannot raise an issue (especially welfare) and feel safe in doing so, without facing recrimination then You Have a club in a seriously dangerous position. It’s not petty issues. It’s so far gone that that it’s lost sight of reality. |

Sorry I don’t know what you mean. I started the thread and no one has changed that. This is not a send up. I came on here to gauge if anywhere else was so bad. |

The resignation concern of half the committee was over the drinking culture among a number of the club.
This involved junior training where a complaint was made that training officials had been drinking copiously prior to preparing and potentially delivering a session. Evidence is there too of alcohol misuse in other parts of the club programme. |

Absolutely, but the chair whitewashed the investigation. Told the LA no case to answer. The investigator told the governing body of the collusion going on. They got a disciplinary for that and kicked out. Family ties in committee and training team protecting their own. A mass of evidence given to the governing body who have, as I said done nothing. What do you do? Does it need an incident before something’s done?

Sounds tricky, and the problem and solution in these circumstances are not always as they seem.
We all have preferred style of management. Some prefer "Strong leadership" (euph) others prefer a more democratic/group style of leadership. Some aren't happy being lead and will only be happy leading..... iconoclasts or like Oedipus, seriously resentful of any authority other than their own. Given the wider stressful environment many folk will be happy to just chill out in an environment that is controlled by others. .......in short, the problems you face are never, ever cut and dry. It sounds like your voting membership are split along similar lines/proportions to the wider population at the moment. Edited by Sussex Lad - 01 Dec 22 at 12:03pm |
