 I registered my disappointment of the association of the PFA Mag with
Wilson about two months ago it is still valid and will be for ever, Mr.
Newby please listen up..... Sorry, you American guys but we are
sympathising for a lot of your buddys, just turn it off if you don't
like it.

Now to Jeremy Davey....

"In short, are you volunteering?......."

I just may have, up to about 3 weeks ago but I have no wish to be part
of the management of any organisation that has dished up what has
prevailed over me behind the scenes from this group in this period. If
my perception or even suggestions are wrong or incorrect then why hasn't
my communications from 23rd April, 28th April and accompanying letter
which was sent with my application for a cable retention "variant
option" to Mod. 70 dated 12th May received the courtesy of either a
reply, acknowledgement or a 'phone call even now? Except when I called I
was arrogantly told to "make a written application send 45 and get in
the queue." As I see it you picked up the challenge of being on the EC
and you'll be judged on whether the PFA are ultimately listening or not.
---From where I stand I can't see a flutter of a move towards
inclusiveness, or signs of a user caring organisation other than an
authoritarian regulator which you and Rickard have even tried to extend
through the Europa Club.  (Excepting the representation and lobbying on
our behalf at the International Organisations who are frustrating our
sport of which we get limited information) If the "membership base" is
to flourish tinkering at the edges changing titles like "flying for fun"
or inviting members to go the CAA way isn't going to improve it, just
hard work to enable and encourage greater numbers of home builders to
indulge is what's needed. This means less time taken to make simple
engineering decisions and just a little bit of communication about the
subject matter of a builders view point, problem or suggestion. We "the
membership" have to be able to relate to newcomers truthfully as to how
we see the PFA, in good light or bad and my experiences have only been
good when I've managed to get one to one direct verbal communication
with the Chief Engineer. IMHO the rest of the team need to take a leaf
out of his book.

Bob Harrison.
