Comments on: “Support” GWOCGB Style – The troubles of 2008 http://www.gl1800.org.uk/goldwing-clubs/national-support-gwocgb-style/ musings on GoldWing clubs, the Blackpool Light Parade.......and other GoldWing issues Wed, 08 Sep 2010 10:54:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Keith Cross http://www.gl1800.org.uk/goldwing-clubs/national-support-gwocgb-style/comment-page-1/#comment-30 Keith Cross Thu, 25 Dec 2008 00:41:53 +0000 http://www.gl1800.org.uk/?p=115#comment-30 Sorry, but I speakk as i find., I have sucssfuly put forward changes the rules or GWOCGB if I see them as wrong, includiug the making sure the rules allow a method of fairness on disaplinary procedures. Much beter than just having a go fro outside the club. I just hope ways of ensurngg fairness in other recently formed organisations are as fair, ie with out censorship. ps I apploigise for anty spelljnig mistakes fo those that misunderstand my comments Blogmaster: At least you are expressing an opinion about an issue here, rather than a snidey personal remark, so your comment gets published - even though I personally don't think much of your arguments in support of GWOCGB being fair about disciplinary matters, indeed you haven't actually put any arguments, you're just making a statement of continuing blind faith. And by the way didn't GWOCGB's National Committee acquire constitutional powers to expel anyone they want to without any sort of hearing at the recent AGM, as they did with me, even though at the time they didn't? This is not a free-for-all forum Keith; its more like writing to a newspaper. If its interesting and/or useful its gets published. If you want the freedom to publish uncensored personal remarks then I suggest you start your own Blog. Happy Christmas!

Even people who commit murder have more rights than what you did as a GWOCGB member. Totally unjust if you ask me. I was a member from 1984 to 1990 when the likes of Dave and Thel ran the club and Dave Friar was a great friend of mine. I was hoping that things would be like then but it does seem like those days are long gone. I do like the idea of a Federation, it seems the best way forward and will in time, i'm sure spread the message that owning a Goldwing and being part of a big and varied family of like minded people promoting motorcycling will be fun and fulfilling. Lastly I would like to thank you for a very informative website. Keep it up.
