Joe, I'm not sure which issue are you talking about. I assume you don't mean the link as that was addressed at the last Board meeting when the Board voted 8 to 2 against establishing a link. If you mean, as suggested below, to accept Celia's "offer to provide this valuable service - not as a link to another site but as part of the OBC web site". I'm afraid Celia dealt with that one in January by resigning as webmaster which included removing herself from doing the TT pages. She stated in an e-mail message, " ..... Oh - I guess I'll not be doing the TT pages either. It would be too much of a hassle to get them emailed to the new webmaster for posting." We have since been told that the Board had "a reading comprehension problem" and she didn't really mean that she had resigned or that she didn't really give up the TT work at the same time - maybe she was hoping that we would not accept the reignation but I think it's unreasonable to expect Board members to read something else into what was written. As a result of this, a new webmaster, Randy Plunkett, was appointed. Through all this he has kept a dignified silence even though he has put up with more insults, privately and here publicly, over his competence than anyone could ever reasonably expect a volunteer to accept. > > Celia has done an excellent job in reporting these results. > My suggestion is that the Board accept her offer to provide this valuable service - not > as a link to another site but as part of the OBC web site. > I can't understand why the Board is refusing to accept the help of such a dedicated > volunteer. > I am beginning to wonder if the OBC is a Bike Club or "Biker Club"! Actually, the OBC is probably the best operated cycling club in Canada. Where else can cyclists get the comprehensive range of services our members get for $40? The low price is a direct result of it being competently managed by dedicated volunteers (with the sole exception of one paid administrative employee) who put in long hours for the benefit of their fellow members. If a couple of members want to disrupt the operations of the club (as they have) to pursue their own agenda, well it's up to the silent majority to express their confidence in how the Board operates the club. If not, well I don't know anyone on the Board that is wedded to his/her portfolio, or think it's an essential part of his/her life. They do it for the love and joy of cycling, and to give something back. I'm sure they would be quite happy to remove themselves and let the squeeky wheels take over custody of the oil can, so to speak. The squeeky wheels however will still have to conform to procedures and standards, and subject themselves to the decisions and authority of the Board. They'll be in the same position as we are. There's no getting around it. Avery > > Joseph A.
