I read you letter today re the Hoo party and by the sound of things everyone had a great time apart from the ride home, but hey the english weather has a mind of it's own as we all know.
As I read your letter I came accross the following and I quote: "To every one who pitched in big or small it all helped, and to the minority who didn't well that wasn't a suprise"
Now being one of the ones who didn't help I would like to just remind you that without the people that that comment applies to we STILL pay our joining fee's along with membership fee's every year and just because we may have other commitments like young families ect there is no need to take a cheap swipe because they could not get there or help the smooth running of the day!
I'm sure that the accounts look healthier with our fee's in your account and you would not be able to do as much as you do without their support ie their membership fee's.
So, please enjoy your times together and when people like myslf can join in we shall and will keep paying our fee's, but as for taking cheap swipes try and keep those for the playground... as you may find that those none attendents may take offence and decide not to pay their fee's and join another club.
