Dear Simon et All There is a format (not very publicised until now though) for official complaints and that is the UKU Appeals and Complaints Committee (ACC) which has been appointed by the UKU to deal with any problems officially brought to its notice, whether they be of a playing, seeding, eligibility etc nature. The ACC has 7 members and I happened to have been elected Chairman hence to bring a complaint or appeal you nreed to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] stating in the subject that it is directed to the appeals and complaints committee giving the details of your issue. If you do not receive an acknowledgement of receipt within 10 days then email Barry Okane at [EMAIL PROTECTED] to insure that the matter is being dealt with. If the complaint is about me (heaven forbid) then send your email directly to Barry and he will forward it to the ACC members excluding myself.
Obviously if this is not a serious complaint just a big whinge to Britdisc (which I fully understand the need for) then please leave us out of it ;) Cheers Adam Batchelor Meglomaniac returned ----- Original Message ----- From: "Simon Statham" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Director Of Competitions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Britdisc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, July 04, 2003 8:54 AM Subject: Re: [BD] Tour 3 > Ok, I know you said it's no use complaining and I don't expect anything will > change but we (Janitors) are going to complain anyway! > > The complaint being that we've been bumped out of the top 16 with the inclusion > of Paddy Murphy.
