There has been a monopoly over the last year in the committee, you, phil and kevin! Next year, I know that I will be using my vote to make sure that that does not happen again! Darragh may have done something wrong (im not getting into that argument again) but at least he knew how to listen to people before making decisions about the running of a society. You DONT!

I must just say one more thing! I dont mean this as an insult to dave or any body else in this years committee. I admit that it is blunt but I feel that it needed to be said so that the same thing does not happen again next year! All major decisions this year have been made by Dave or Phil, This is not how a society should be run! I mean it as constructive criticism but i think the wording of it is a little too hostile! I apologise!

...

I beg your pardon? I didn't say it was a bad idea.

DAve that was EXACTLY what you said! you said that ?it is a bad idea because it attaches too much importance to the meeting? ... that was your wording!

...

The implication I was always drawing was that it would be a good idea... but if you can't see that your attending would display that we find this meeting very important *indeed*, I don't know what to do.

I could be tempted to call you every name under the sun in four languages, but im not going to!

I have to admit that again Im a little emotional. And i apologise! Its just that Dave has always said that Chair and vice chair both attending would 1) put the CC on the defensive immediately 2) put too much importance on the meeting both points that i disagreed with and now he has said that it was a good idea!!! You have to admit that that would get your hackles up a little! I apologise for any offence caused and any emotion left to run wild too long!
