Ok, will be brief as quite worn out to be honest, but feel like I have ignored you a bit recently, but that is mainly down to work pressures...Sorry!

1) Me

My own input in TE has been very limited. I hadnt until recently remembered how much I used to put into this...These days I have a much more involved job and often have to work evening meetings.....I dont see me in the near future getting back to putting in the hours I did in the past. On the spare evenings that I do have, these days I play in and captain a league badminton team....With the type of work that I do (and the health problem I had a few years back), I decided that my free time should be active/physical and very enjoyable....and that it is :)))) I am loving playing league sport again and it is doing me a great deal of good...... This partly explains why I have not really got to grips with TE HQ and the gang of 3.

2) TE ... I still agree that a great deal could and maybe should be done to improve things......but this will take a long time...There is no quick solution. I do not consider that a break away group will ever work or be the solution...As I have said before, for me, it it this TE or no world league for me....Si set this group up and out of respect for Si, I cant be part of any other group...Ultimately, if I leave TE at any point, it will not be to join another group.

I dont now blieve that David and co will ever leave...So my choice is to work with them and try to slowly change things, or leave.....For now, I want to continue to play the slow game and see if one point at a time can be corrected/improved....There are real green shoots appearing...The recruitment drive.....I am shocked at how structured David is being with his approach, and the results are very impressive...if you look at the new member list, there are a great deal who are highly rated....now some might not be any good, but we will see quite quickly, but hard to argue with the numbers and ratings...It is a good sign....

I think we need to agree what would be the next single item that we would like to "encourge" to happen.

Will post more soon.....To be continued
