your wasting time and effort in posting these on here, get in someones face and ask or put it into a letter or e mail, not knocking the post at all just it wont get answered here and if you really do want an answer then ask a person not an official message board.

Top reply Fred............ Too many folk want to take a swipe and others end up adding fuel to the fire..........Good job we`ve got a few pumps at the station........

I wasn't having a go at the post though Bartie its just that answeres will not be forthcoming (and perhaps - im unsure on this one myself- rightly so on an un official message board) and MC has obviously taken time to put together some interesting and intelligent (for a change ) questions it is a pity he will probably not get a reply on here to some of those which he isnt alone in wanting answers to some.

I'd ask Allen them myself but some would only call me for that.

After more ' perks ' again Parkinson

Aye I wish

It should be run well away from AR, let them get on with it, I am sure if they want you they will let you know, if youve got £25 a month spare then get 5 family members in LISA and vote for a change of direction.

Sometimes in life you just have to decide that you are going to put money (or effort) into something without there being an obvious tangible benefit to yourself directly, or that the people with whom you entrust your cash won't do the things you would have done.
But, you hand over the money in the hope that good will be done in good faith.

If you are unable to do that - then consider some other way of spending your money that will give you some satisfaction.

And, if you care so much about something - then consider getting involved yourself.

My understanding is that the businessmen involved wanted to put cash into the club....the terms and conditions of that seem irrelvent to me.

.....your front room

perhaps Maurice could expand on his comment and give reasons?

I tend to agree with Maurice on this one

In the same way that LISA is a separate entity a business support club would be better run by non club people

As I put on the original thread , in my opinion if an incentive was to be part of the deal it would be better done as a % of the donation

That way if say a pub wanted to join the ' club ' and was willing to put £ 500 in then they could have access to 40 % of that £ 500 [ £ 200 ] in either tickets,merchandise or corporate hospitality at cost

They then can use that as prizes , giveaways or whatever in whatever way they want to

The added value of this would be marketing for the club

My idea anyway , in the next few days I'll contact the relevant people to ask to join and pass on my idea's

May be one day Starbug the board will actually listen to one of your ideas.

Totally agree. Needs to be as transparent as this or else it might all come tumbling down two years down the line after a spot of favouritism is revealed.

I could but I wont
