Nicely put Bernard! I see that you now fully understand the implications of your initial email to which I strongly objected! All this aside, I for one, freely acknowledge the huge effort that you have made to firstly improving the status of XC gliding in SA, and to a lesser extent, within the larger OZ scene, through your personal effort, and secondly to a possibly larger (worldwide extent), through the publication of the various editions of your book. I have a copy of your 2nd edition, which perhaps I should delve deeper into if I want to improve my performance?
It would seem that you now have a positive resolution of the cost issues. That is good. Please keep up the good coaching work. Gary ----- Original Message ----- From: Future Aviation To: 'Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia.' Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 4:59 PM Subject: [Aus-soaring] Car damage Hello Kevin and all other contributors! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the matter. Shortly after Kevin's posting I received a call from a concerned friend. He basically underlined Kevin's comments and pointed out that the naming of an individual should have been avoided. This doesn't seem to be an issue where I come from (as long as the facts are correct) but I was told that that it is a no-no in Australia. Therefore I have now come to accept that I was wrong in doing it Initially I received a number of e-mails in support of my approach while stressing that we should all object to people doing the wrong thing by others and expect to get away with it. However, lately some well meaning off line feedback is more concerned about the impact on the individual involved. It made me realise that my initial posting was interpreted by the majority of readers as an attack on the individual when in reality it was primarily an attempt to share a costly experience with other volunteers and prevent them from falling into the same trap. Talking of costs, the good news is that I have received feedback from GFA officials that the cost of repairs should be covered by the BBL insurance scheme. That will take care of the financial issue and I want to thank those members who have pointed that out to me. Apparently I need to submit a claim to the lady in question which she has to pass on to the GFA treasurer. I assume that I will receive the necessary cooperation and if this is the case I want to assure all members of this forum that I will write to the lady and express my deep regret for naming her. If my posting has offended a fellow club member (or anyone else) I want to apologise to them right here and now. Kind regards to all Bernard ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this message.
