Rather a retirement than anything else.

They have served the sport(s) and the community well.

2 senior directors quit suddenly without fanfare. Within hours their photos are taken from the foyer and from the websites.

This wasn't just a double retirement, there is something else going on.

Don Feltis notified of his intention to retire months ago. Great administrator did a lot behind the scenes.As much as I would love to see him continue... Gee you cant go on forever, poor bloke needs to put his feet up.

Darkbloom is always hinting at trouble behind the scenes.

So, where do you buy your tin foil hats mate? Or do you make your own?

 

[murraymob]

These 2 guys gave everything to our club and deserve. The right to retire on there terms as they are now doing

 

[Fibroman]

They are not young men. Feltis is an ex cop and Hiatt an ex Magistrate. Both stressful jobs. Add to that the responsibility attached to being senior directors at the club, and I'm guessing they probably want to put a pair of trackies on, relax and have a beer watching the footy. Good luck to them both.

Were they injured?

iT's just an event I find intriguing - no value judgement on either the directors in question or anyone else.

But the other intriguing thing is the sudden retirement of Hiatt as Chairman of Hawkesbury Race Club.

Should refer to him as "Comalco".

Obviously you have a point you want to make.

Let me help you out.

Two people have retired completely from all manners involving the clubs that they were involved with.

And you know why.....well I can't tell you.And neither can anyone else.And do you know why?

Because it's their own business....maybe they want to go fishing in the mountains in some far away country.

And lastly,these men have led a fruitful and productive life.

Far cry from someone that is wasting his time on the internet in trying to rake up some muck.

Were they injured?

Lol, how long are they out for?

Tom.

Well said Gong, it's a sign of the times with social media ...innocent decisions can be miss construed as a conspiracy . Sad but a reality of life now .

LOL.

There is no need to get het up about an observation.

The reasons for their resignations may not be my business - But you know the governance of the club is the business of members.

Just as I am interested in the governance of our country, I am also interested, in the governance of the club I belong to.

It is a pity more members did not take an interest beyond the playing group.

Your observation about these two people is irrelevant,and out of order to the point that you don't personally know them.Which in essence,is very unfair.Yet publicly you want to put some silly type of 9-11 truther type conspiracy theory behind something so innocent as someone hanging their boots up.

Boy I can't wait for the next state or federal election when we have a thread about it.:roll:

Being irrelevant means that I fit in well here.

But perhaps you could point out exactly what I have said about these two people and how I have been unfair to them. You are making a judgement on what I have written that is quite wrong. I haven't made an observation about these two people at al. I have made an observation about a process.

It seems to me it is the club has been unfair to them. Certainly the removal of their pictures within hours was disrespectful in the extreme. You may not agree with that observation.

The observation I made is not at all disparaging about these two people, it is making no real comment about them in particular.

I am merely questioning something about the governance of the club and the treatment senior long service people get from our club.

By the way, it is possible that I know these gentlemen quite well.

 

[MaxPower]

What a whiny little bitch. Everything is a drama with some people.

 

[darkbloom]

LOL

Bitch, drama spot on.

Curiosity creates the bitch. The bitch loves a good boardroom drama and a conspiracy theory. Though less so when the fallout is unfair.

But whining? Do you have tinnitus?

You don't.
