I encourage you to go for it Adam - but keep it relevant & safe as well as fun & exciting.
Contrary to what some people will say ie. line up the GFA against a wall & shoot them, the GFA (including me now I guess ... hmmm!) seems to want to HELP get things back on track. I am new to the GFA world, but what I heard today was pretty positive, and also seems do-able at a "real people", ie. club, level. Like it or not the GFA is our voice to a lot of the outside world. It may need to change, but that won't happen by turning your back on it.
