The hits just keep on coming
In the short time this blog has been online, it has accumulated a surprisingly high number of hits. VERY surprising.
The lack of a BBS or open discussion forum on the TAC website has determined the need for this blog.
If the management at TAC install an uncensored, free discussion forum on their website, this blog will be taken down.
The current fora for discussion concerning the relocation are too few and far between. An online facility is the ONLY way to ensure all members have a voice and can express their opinions at a time that suits them, not at a time that suits TAC management or under an air of oppression, which is the prevailing atmosphere at Town Hall meetings chaired by the LRPC.

Bloggers Beware -- is it true that TAC logo flak jackets will soon be on sale on this site to protect the innocent against TAC-PIDS (proagabda incendiary devices)?

My experience and research of this matter is far from exhaustive, but all that I have heard or witnessed suggests that the club members holding office and/or volunteering their time toward the proposed new project do so honestly, with noble intentions and in the main for altruistic reasons.
Which does not mean that egos are checked in at the door, or that personal power-plays are excluded from the mix - all of them are human after all. While no conflicts of interest of a crudely commercial material variety may be apparent, there appear to be some who have come to regard this proposed project as, in effect, "my turf, my baby".
This is not healthy in a club where responsibility and liability appears to be very loose indeed, and the project in question is so vast and potentially significant to the very existence of the club.
It appears that the lengthy study and research phases of the various committees have, step by step and layer by layer, built up a broad concensus for the proposed rebuild project now being touted so strenuously by a well-oiled, costly P.R. machine : a concensus of the wise and well-informed that does not appear to have been challenged much.
Maybe it has, but there is little or nothing to indicate that committee A or team B disagreed on a key matter, and solved that impasse by way of documented fact finding or convincing recorded debate - the P.R. picture is one of continuous harmony and happiness.
This is, to say the least, most unusual in a project of such complexity as many might know from other experiences : also it is entirely normal for those who become involved and dedicate their spare time to believe very firmly in what they are doing, to the exclusion of considering a differing or questioning viewpoint. I say this from personal experience.
If indeed the various questions being raised anonymously in this forum are ill-founded and redundant, then the members of the Board of Governors and the LRPC owe it to themselves, to their own credibility - as much as to the membership - to set out exhaustively and in plain understandable language all that they have investigated and discussed, and how the decisions they have taken to advance matters as far as this are all well founded and sound.
The documents on the TAC website do not do this - they read like simplistic propaganda, all in support of a decision that appears to have been set in stone already.
Evidently it is up to the members - if they so wish -to challenge "the club within the club" on this project, and on a few other key aspects of the mismanagement of TAC that are being thrown up here.
It seems to me that all members should be encouraged to attend the upcoming town hall meetings, well armed with questions, whether or not they support the proposed project.
