And is nobody on the board going to explain why they think it's reasonable to go ahead with the election but not the hustings?

If anyone has an issue reading the moral here then please e-mail me and I'll explain how to use the settings to change it to a colour of your choice.

Better keep my nose out, mad. I had a (mistaken) idea that he'd been proposed by Old Isthmian, in which case my post might have made more sense.

Ah well thats good Padds. Wouldn't want Doobs being made uncomfortable from proposing drake and also being the one to put him to some form of scrutiny in the hustings 😉

The convention used to be that you proposed people if they were eligible to stand rather than because you supported them though.

Isn't Kevin Rye one of his proposers I might be wrong but recall someone had to ask for their proposers to be updated as was listed with previous election proposers so was either Martin or Alex and Kevin Rye was 1 of the names

Gary D has made a statement on Discord about hustings. They haven't been paused they've been cancelled.

So it’s official - hustings cancelled

Who proposed him? 🤣

None of them make me want to vote. Martin's manifesto is full of blah blah as usual.

Even if I was voting for Martin/TBK I wouldn't be now as can't believe how brazen he has been with ignoring a genuine question as can't say not read it when clearly replying to a post that was posted after the initial question and before follow up's. Just acknowledge the question if can't or would rather not answer just say so

I don’t think it’s a secret that the official hustings are on hold. I understand necessary secrets (HR), not the biggest fan of unnecessary ones (obfuscation etc.) Happy to participate in unofficial hustings.

WJ no i don't but thanks for trying

SwinDon, glad you got a prompt sensible reply. Suspect it's what WJ says. It shows differently on my laptop to my mobile but never noticed that before.

Nothing in the constitution which gives the Chair power to tell board members to stay silent or resign.

Swin, I'll assume you have 'dark mode' enabled. This overrides default black/white with the opposite, and would explain the problems you have with these emails.

We would all like an answer to Shane's question, I imagine, TBK.

Oh, WAWF has made the OS - please share it about - 1,000 of us in here popping in £1/week soon adds up and could help our play-off push :) [Link]

OI - just as a matter of personal pride, i don't think there's much to be achieved by blowing smoke up bottoms or asking puff questions. I've not run them past anyone and don't intend to show them to candidates in advance. On the flip side, I'd try to be fair and won't be going Paxman by any means. I think a live hustings with all candidates would have the potential to be very informative (but could also be very repetitive and dull). Would need a good Robin Day to helm it imho

Although I don't have a problem in reading the moral in here.

TBK I have had a reply. Apparently the emails are always sent in white text on a blue background, but depending on the operating device the email is opened on it can override the colours that are picked from our team unfortunately.

Well I hope Doobs is challenging with the questions as this does seem to be part of the key issues in terms of respect to the membership.

It’s a fair question TBK.

Reminds me of the Borg, think like the collective

He’s obviously been told not to talk to you Shane.
