I think it’s natural for an organisation to retreat into their shell when they come under fire.I don't know if criticism of BST is allowed but I'd say that their "constitution" is very flexible.
It would appear that they are perhaps more interested in being seen to do things properly than doing things properly ?
The SLO tells us about how they aim to hold the clubs owners to account in the interests of community or whatever he said but I don't think BST like being questioned themselves.
Whenever they are questioned, they never seem to address those questions and prefer to inform folk that they are volunteers and then blow smoke up each others @rses.
That is not to say that they have not made a positive contribution and that they should be proud of their efforts, they just don't like to be questioned themselves.
Anyone is free to put themselves up for election to the committee and it’s definitely not a closed shop like we saw with BSA.
The committee work extremely hard and I’ve seen that first hand.
I do agree that they maybe don’t appear to handle criticism or any questions particularly well at times, but they also get a lot of unfair flack..
For me, the whole thing is an unwanted distraction. I’m glad we have people willing to do this stuff, because frankly I can’t be arsed with any of it, but I’d rather it was just going on in the background, unless there are genuine issues with the Club.
