But Gordon,the real point is not that the AENA website has been down 2 weeks - and you explain why very well
- but that AENA Head Office,"as frustrated as we are", didnt bother to tell us during the same fortnight.
AENA know Malcolm's and Andy's websites perfectly well and could easily have posted a message there at once.
It would have been nice if in due course,they had posted an explanation as full as yours - perhaps they were too busy in the process of setting up that small working party you mention.
However,based on their many failures to use their own website to date,I rather fear that AENA are simply incapable of giving timely information.If so,this must reflect on their relations with the media as well as with their members and supporters.Members will then rightly ask what use is being made of their fees ans some will be lost to other sports,particularly football where women's registered membership at 55,000 now almost equals netball.
What a pity when the more information,the better netball will be widely known and appreciated
- indeed any information on the AENA website will help to allay the frustration of members.
This is not a technical matter - merely the reasonable need for timely authoritative information.
National results and league tables are a case in point.
Not much to ask,so what is the problem,Gordon?
And not who's to blame in the past,but who will ensure that from now on we get the minimum information we seek on the AENA website.
Surely it must be the Chief Executive - and if not,then the Chair of the Management Committee.
Failing either,then Gordon(or Malcolm or Andy)for salaried Head of Information!
Best regards
