    Yep, not a bad topic and, extremely pertinent at the moment.

    I’m thinking on “Bob’s Mate”, Steve that went bust when MFI collapsed. 😉

    Could be interesting.

    Since I’ve not been paying attention, have we got this booked, a date etc. so I can make some news of it?

    Have we had any applications for the seventh council member yet? Did Steven decide he wanted to stand?

    Sorry Steve – nothing. Kind of losing the will to live a bit over the whole thing.

    Re: September 2009

    I shouldn’t give up just yet. 😉

    The problem with any TA is you end up running around finding walls to bang your head off for the most part or, at least, that’s what experience has taught me about them. Generally, IME, this is because there something between little and nothing to offer the members unless you have a kick a$$ selling point, a USP in marketing jargon.

    But we have a tame marketing dude who, it just so happens, is rather good at what he does.

    Trust me, the COP ratified by the OFT will totally change the landscape. We just need to be prepared to ride the storm until that’s complete.

    That’s the hook.

    Steven is unsure what to do – he wants to talk to us at the meeting.

    Just read your post re the vacant positions on the council. I had no idea it was short and this was the first I had heard of it. As I have said before if there is any way I can help I will and if this means taking a place on the WTA Council then I’m up for that. Therefore I am willing to put my name forward.

    Comments?

    If acceptable, I will post an up-date in the WTA forum to try and generate some further interest.

    Re: September 2009

    Good news!! He’s been a UKW member since May 2005 and 924 posts so he is a regular contributor.
    Maybe that development will prod some others into standing, you can live in hope. 😕 Post away Chris!!

    And yes, he can sup a bit!

    Normally he’s at the Xmas bash so you’ve seen his beer gills in operation!

    Right, that should get their attention.
