I find this sort of thread very sad reading.
All post holders at wahatever level are servants of the members. This is sometimes forgotton, in fact very often forgotten till a timely reminder is made then usually ignored in times of stress. The draw bridge goes up at HQ.
Clubs need to understand that social media can make or break them. A failure to understand this can be fatal. Hoping too much question asking from members will eventually go away if you ignore them breeds distrust. Those inside the fort brand the question askers as trouble makers and the downward spiral begins.
In this particular case the relationship between regional clubs and the association is accademic. I fear that asking you local club what happened will result in as many answers as there are regional clubs to say nothing of any off the record comments! More grist to the fake news mill.
A statement from those directly involved issued to the whole membership including being posted here would give all the same information and at least would be appreciated as trying to be transparent. Some may not be happy with what they read but that is always to be expected.
