No! If you look at post No 2 on this thread by Finch, you will clearly see that this date was notified via the BWLA Forum (and by other means as well) in February of this year. If you don't want to look on the BWLA Forum to find out the dates of BWLA competitions, or, presumably, check with your divisional secretary, then fair enough, but enough of the Chinese whispers nonsense.

We will endeavour to publicise events as well as possible next year, and of course having a dedicated GBPF website will aid that considerably. But as far as this year's event is concerned, the championship secretary gave notice in February of a competition in August.

And I have to say, Paul, that some of the emails I've had this evening speak of you in less than glowing terms. I won't quote them, but you're doing yourself no favours at all with all this moaning and whinging, and I really would urge you to leave it there rather than keep digging. Probably not what you want to hear, but honest, well intentioned advice nonetheless.

Here's the entry from the BWLA Forum btw:

Firstly, I agree Paul isn't making much sense complaining about the location of the finals. It really isn't a big deal and is more than fair as other people have explained in detail.

However, I think this whole 'secret emails' business is terribly sad and clandestine. If people have comments to say about Paul, then they should come out and say them on the forum or by contacting him - instead of b**ching in the shadows.

I do hope that your correspondents aren't part of the new federation - because it doesn't need people running it who have nothing better to do with their time than getting their knickers in a twist over one ill-placed comment... they should be mature enough to overlook such instances (because they're going to happen regularly) and invest their time elsewhere doing some worthwhile.

What's this 'secret emails' bollox, Rob? All emails are 'secret' unless either the sender or the recipient chooses to publicise them. Are you saying people aren't entitled to exchange views off forum? My emails last night were from some people who are either members who choose not to get involved in internet arguments/slag people off in public, or 'visitors' who choose not to post. They're all entitled to their opinions, and they're all entitled not to express them here if they choose not to.

Paul's factually incorrect posts were doing him no favours, and I chose to tell him that. Maybe I should have done part of it by pm, on reflection. Or would that have been 'secret email'?

I really didn't like the way you referred to the emails - to me it seemed very haughty and superior.

And Titch, I prefer a tart to a pie. What pies do you favour?

On a slightly less related note, who's likely to be having drug fuelled sex tonight? and if so will you be travelling far for it?

Olly said:
That being said, I think its pretty sad to complain about the location of a comp. Location will never be great for everyone.

Nor will the date.

Muff. And I'm hungry!

The Adders OH push and pull next weekend is great for everyone.

Wrong again. It's the same day as the Adlington carnaval and there will be a beer tent in the field next to the gym. Does life get any f**king better?
