Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011

Stephen, can we hold off until the Jan get together regarding inviting Companies? That’s one of the things we have to sort, is the agenda. With extra time needed for presentations (DEG issue etc), we need to make sure we invite only the most needed / beneficial companies to avoid people turning up and not having time to present etc.
Ade 🙂
Ade, the reason i mentioned this, was they have already been provisionally invited from the last meeting and given got the go ahead from Bryan and Lawrence in the Feb 2011 meeting post?
So as this was more of a benefit to the current wta members thought i would get in early.
Also they will do some PR work for us by doing flyers sent out to the trade this will give us more coverage and chance to get others to the meeting!
Did not want to leave it to the last minute like last time and they got booked else where :rolls:But let me know if you still want to hold back, not a problem.

Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011
3.30 departure…? Sorry Lawrence, but you’re on your own! I’ll be back in Cardiff by then 🙂
Stephen… Please hold back! How many people, seriously will bring multimeters etc to get calibrated? I think meter calibration is a floppy turnout IMO, BUT, we can talk about that in Jan? Until then, say no more 🙂

Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011
Ok will leave that. 😉
just remembered this 😆
Lawrence and I were talking at the last meeting about some display pop up banner stands with the WTA format same layout as the memebrship certificates to put at front of house.
Do you want me to get something organised?
I have asked Ken for pdf of the logo.
I will see what i can come up with.
If there is a particular style or other layout idea you want to adopt then let me know?

Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011
Sorry I haven’t been active on the forums lately – little things like serious lack of available funds ATM….embarrasing to have to type it….but true. After being seriously shafted by 2 companies going under within weeks of each other I am recovering my losses……but slowly. I am always busy but there are more and more people owing me…:evil: I know there is little I can do but work my ass off to recoup what we have lost. We are OK; it’ll be fine; but we just have to be careful for a while.
Being a sole trader that backs up 3 other local engineers but when the chips are down, doesn’t appear to have the benefit of a return gesture, the whole situation has really knocked me sideways. Financially and morally. But hey, after the last few years that we’ve had as a family, it’s got to get better!!
In a previous post Ade suggested the inactive council members should step down. He is actually right, when you peel away the sentiment… I have felt for some time that my contribution to the WTA was less than I, personally wanted it to be. The Qualtex spares deal result was good, but I haven’t seen anything change on that front. We lost our local spares counter (South West) so first hand information from there has ceased.
Also, WTA membership enquiries were being regularly sent to my email, but that stopped some time ago. All I was able to do was to collate and forward new member details to Kilmarnock, because, in the absence of any WTA paperwork to send out, the whole operation would have to be duplicated at Killy anyway. There seemed little point in that TBH.I applaud what you guys have achieved with the OFT: against all the odds (with dissenters like Dr Dill) the wheels of the WTA are turning and gaining momentum…. 😀
I need to get back on track and so I propose that my seat on the TA be put up for re – election at the Feb meeting. It would be appreciated if the reason was not made public as I do have a modicum of pride left..:lol:
I like to be able to help; I love challenges….but extra expenses are not really on the radar ATM. I have thought long and hard about this; and yes, it’ll probably demean me in the eyes of some, but I’ll just have to accept that. I fully support the WTA and will help where I can; but in the interim I have to focus on matters close to home and business.Steve.
Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011
As Lawrence has a broken hand, he’s asked me via telephone to post the following to Aqua, and I echo it…
Thanks for all your help, please don’t feel dis heartened etc, the Qualtex thing is progressing, and that’s down to you initially so all’s good there…
We’ll put your seat up for election in Feb, and please be assured Steve, that no reasons for your stand down will be given to anyone…
Hope all works out and no doubt we will keep in touch and see eachother in the near future.
lawrence.
Re: WTA Council Meeting January 2011
Really sorry to hear about your situation Steve and dont be embarrased about it happens to many.
If you want to have chat you know any of us are here for you to have rant and rage with.
This is why you cant rely on companies and allow them to abuse your good nature.
This is where you have to give them credit limits as well you need to protect your self.
If you want to chat give me call.

Is this something we can add to the agenda to organise on the day?
