Hello Mr DucieOriginally Posted by Mr Ducie
Good to hear from some new voices on this message board. I think it was only the other day that someone was bemoaning the lack of activity on this board. It's surely a good thing to hear from a number of new msg board members who've taken the trouble to comment on the Trust and the possibility of new commitee members.
I have been a member of the trust since it's inception and like (probably) the majority of the small membership I appreciate the efforts of those who put themselves forward for committee posts. I am a lazy bastard and live 150 miles away so excuse myself even though I know I probably could do more. So in fact I reserve my contempt for those who slag off those who do something and snipe from the sidelines, "I'm not joining because the trust does nothing". I recognise that the City needs a trust and applaud those that do something rather than don't. So I will look forward to hearing about the innovative plans the new folk have for increasing the Trust numbers but I'll say from the outset that suggestions concerning walking down Sloper Road shouting slogans won't be top of my list when considering electing officials.
On the subject of the Trust having become the Keith Morgan show (TLG mentioned this was a perception of people he talks to. Good of him to pass on this info to a wider audience), I don't know KM but I appreciate his efforts and expertise. I particularly appreciate the info fed back in a manner I can understand.
My view on the points you raised about people not being held accountable for the low numbers are I think answered above although I resent the suggestion that I haven't scrutinized the people concerned. I look forward to taking part in future elections as a voter where if I choose I may take the opportunity to not vote for the current board and take a punt on people who've done eff all in the past. Please don't hold your breath.
