I refer every user of this forum / bulletin board to the "Sticky" "Locked" Thread at the top of the Discussion section entitled "Forum Rules". Also see below.
These were formulated over 10 years ago and still hold good.
We are a family friendly club with junior and other family members and all forum users should behave accordingly, as 99.99% do.
There have been a number of threads / posts recently which are infringing the forum rules, those who have created these threads /posts know who they are.
If you cannot be civil and act responsibly then you have no place on this forum. Behaviour such as has been shown recently by a tiny number of users will not be tolerated.
If you have a grievance or an issue then you can contact the club through the office, details on the home page of the website and, if after an appropriate period you do not feel that your issue is receiving appropriate attention you can escalate to a board member or the President of the club. It serves no good to "throw a tantrum" on the forum other than to alienate you from other forum users. To the tiny number of miscreants, grow up or go, we do not want and will not tolerate this type of behaviour.
As has been said in other posts, the Directors spend many hours helping to run the club all of which is on a voluntary basis. We do not want or need to have to deal with the tiny number of individuals who behave like children rather than adults.
