 So did I and the car most definitely is! I'm not sure about the crack
 about tin and plywood though, I claim steel, aluminium and ash,
 (although I'll concede the GRP wings aren't the noble material they
 ought to be).
 
 IMHO the MSCC has lost the plot. Some of the volunteer directors of the
 MSCC, i.e. those who have power over the joint club funds decided for a
 lark to ignore the needs of the members, treat them like mushrooms and
 sack illegally the old Treasurer and the Registrar. This little exercise
 has cost about US$48,000, which the Directors won't be paying. As the
 club is a 'not for profit', you can guess who will be.

 Please have a look at the ManxMog web site and read the Tribunal
 judgement and the subsequent postings.

 For one person, it has been her hobby, life and livelihood. Not senate
 hearings or a murder trial, sorry.

Jeremy -

I don't really mean to downplay an event which has apparently had a big 
personal effect on someone who put a lot of themselves into something and 
then got hurt.....BUT....

I guess it's just human nature.  A couple of years ago I was sitting in a 
cafeteria booth at work and heard three guys in the next booth talking.  They 
had just formed a local chapter of a bass-fishing club.  (For those of you 
not familiar with this phenomenon, tournament bass-fishing is a Big Deal 
among a lot of people).  But they weren't talking about fishing, they were 
talking about who would be president and that Jimbo and Bubba had formed a 
coalition to oust Billy-Bob as tournament director, and how many votes they 
could pull together among them to gain control of the fishing club.  And I 
thought, Good gosh, there are only 12 people in this club, and it's supposed 
to be about fishing!  Relaxing, laid back, you-against-the-fish kind of thing 
(at least, that's the way I fish).  But it was rife with politics and 
intrigue and dark plots already, and hadn't been organized for a month yet.

Oh well.  We like events and gatherings and newsletters, and to have those 
you have to have an organization, and to have an organization you have to 
have people and control, and then the trouble commences......Don't let my 
reactionary opinions slow down the flow of Morgan news to the board....a 
"delete" only takes about a second or two, so I don't begrudge it...
