johnny boy68 11,725 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I get it now... I think!! 2 groups, 1 new 1 old.. That can't get along and work as one for whatever the reasons may be?? ( perhaps we've ran out of acronyms ??)...So now the lurcher owners decide who to join, or we can join both.. Throw into the mix conflicting hunting forums, a big dose of face book, and there's ruffled feathers all round lol.. The only thing that baffles me a bit is why it wasn't until the new group came about were we all privvy to everything about the old group and its working, I would think this site is one of the biggest in the country ( by number of people) surely this should've been known by all, touting for members, monthly bulletins, maybe even a whole page on the site dedicated to workings of the organisation?? Just seems it was very low key until the new group came about, is it based on a who you know type basis? LOL 3 Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 no link to THL then edited to add, a bit rich that, given all the links you have put up on here to your site and FB page.......... No malice was intended, the web page designer ( if thats the correct word ) is not a member on here, So I am asking formally would You like, or Ian b like a link to the awl page? maybe the correct thing to do, would have been to contact this sites owner prior to posting links to your own sites or any others If both clubs are working in the interest of lurchers why should there be a problem......or this one if them "us and them" type things? wow my heads mashed with all chatter,,,,one things for sure should we really be considering having two clubs,one big club moving forward would surely be beneficial to all lurchers and their owners We need at LEAST two clubs mate, possibly three. If we had only one, our chief to indian ratio would be well out of whack. . . . . . . . . Link to post

Mooching Celt 658 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Would this all have kicked off if those involved in the "old" club had been invited to be involved in the forming of the new club? Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Yes I'd like an honest reply please Y.I.S Leeview When we spoke to Tim, the steering group were lead to believe that Alan was up to speed on the role of the steering group and that he had had email discussions with 2 members of that group. I even asked him openly on this forum if he was aware of the agenda. I got no answer as the thread was locked. All discussions with Tim were based about the vision for LAGBI as a new group. He agreed with the plan that we presented and the path that was chosen. When asked about Alan and the ALC, he said "thats down to you and Alan to sort out". The first thing after that meeting to sort out was a direct contact with Alan to see what involvement he wanted going forward. We attempted to do that. We have still heard nothing back. With regards to the plan B, you are right. We did not have one. We did not need one. Our objective was to investigate the opportunities with the CA and other parties and then present the findings as a detailed package to the rest of those interested from the start. We did that. Some of those interested parties have chosen to ignore the work that those that started it wanted to be done. So you were speaking with Tim on the 15th of October and the said topic was locked on the 9th September, "the steering group were lead to believe that Alan was up to speed" who lead you to believe that? Y.I.S Leeview Alan Tyers courser Born Hunter Members 122 posts Location:Bury Lancs Posted 08 September 2015 - 02:00 PM Desertbred, I fully concur with your last post and as I already knew, you have a lot to offer. I look forward to our cup of tea (and if we are lucky, my wife Barbara might supply some cake) People like yourself and others, Leeview, flynn, Giro, Dewclaw69 and others that I may have missed, sorry if I have, are the backbone of any endeavor to bring about change. In the first instance, subject to agreement, I put forward the name "the Alliance for the Working Longdog" This would be the name to be used by a steering group to get the ball rolling. I have the documentation needed to present "the Alliance for the Working Longdog" as a viable organisation. I will just need to make some changes and with the help of a steering group that, if agreed opon, will start the ball rolling until a committee can voted upon and we can get the day to day items sorted out.. In the first instance, I ask if you the lurcher/longdog owners wants this, If so please let me know. Thanks, must go to Giro for starting all this with his post. "Festina Lente" Alan Tyer Would this all have kicked off if those involved in the "old" club had been invited to be involved in the forming of the new club? i believe they were Link to post
