As an RAA member though a bit isolated from the mainstream of events I find the content of the forum to be quite unsettling.. Is the Sun really falling?? It seems the long time policy of poor communication and "keepem in the dark and feedem on mushroom food" has got us to the situation we are in, now where everything is anecdotal and no one is sure of anything... With the communication facilities available in this modern age it would seem RAA should be updating members of events as they happen and thereby quell speculation and rumour.....Dysfunctional come to mind when I think about the management style... I don't personally have the expertise , education, or knowledge of constitutional matters, and am not able to do more than read the forums, try to form a viewpoint, and hope that when the time for elections comes I can make the right choices...............B
