TRE and suedehead I will probably use both boards depending on what’s being discussed but like many I much prefer the old format, for someone not PC savvy like me it’s much simpler and basic and its evolved over a very long time to what it is now, which I accept for many especially those under 50 is far too basic and boring.

Re: Why did we go out with a defensive formation against the bottom team - BOS 24/10/2023, 10:08 pm I did have a go working the new board and for me it wasn’t good and I dislike the format intensely.SCSM is open to all ages.

Highlighting research that shows tens of millions of Americans face some form of voter suppression, the letter leaders argue that if Biden and other politicians plan to visit Selma—which was recently devastated by a tornado—for the Bloody Sunday anniversary, they should "declare that the fight for voting rights and the restoration of what they marched across that bridge for is not over."

Dates of future meeting are below. This includes a Microsoft Teams link to join each meeting.I am highly supportive of Marion/ in the organisation’s efforts to better focus its support for local writers. This is a critical organisation for the support, coordination, collaboration, promotion and advancement of authors and poets in the Canberra region. I am encouraged by the plan developed by the executive and board to professionalise its services, with a greater emphasis on taking writers who have begun to establish themselves to the next level. I support the name change to Marion to better reflect this change in emphasis.” - CHRIS HAMMER The owners and administrators of SCSM may disclose user information to government authorities at their discretion or when required by law.

It forced people to post here or not at all and that is why for some "they haven’t given it a go", call it sour grapes call it what you want it doesn’t take away from the fact you have alienated a lot of people such as Dosser, Matty and scb which is very sad. We are specifically seeking a person with the necessary experience to takeon the role of Treasurer and someone tolead the fundraising subcommittee. As a leading organisation for writing and literature, we are committed to attracting and nurturing new and diverse voices inour region.

As I say it’s now more of who you are rather than what you post, we are indeed it seems terminally divided.The name MARION connects us to a tradition of uniquely, memorably named arts organisations that have carved out powerful roles in the ACT region. Changing the name and branding of our organisation is an important step in this transformation. It marks our independence and commitment to quality in our field beyond any customary comparison with other state and territory Writers Centres. Implementing a name change is one of several actions which redefine and assert the organisation’s integrity into the future. The new board is indeed a success and probably very few people will want to stay just on or return to the old board but as scb states I too still don’t understand what some posters there stand to gain from wanting this place closed down, it will make no difference to them or the new board, we are just enjoying our own company and once Boardhost folds so will we from posting. Re: Why did we go out with a defensive formation against the bottom team - spurdle 24/10/2023, 10:07 pm I find that a bit sad, it was originally meant to be an upgrade for this place so we could all continue talking rubbish into the future, I'd ask you and everyone to give it a go, it's working well”

To be honest I don’t like being told what to do, the fact Marions was closedown I find unforgivable, free speech is fundamental for me and to deny County supporters the means to express themselves in the manner they want is frankly fascist, call me a remoaner if you like, it’s ok.Best analogy I can give is going down to an away match with 8 people in a mini coach or 800 going on a special train ....some of us prefer the banter of a small group than a big gathering...that’s exactly why I like the experience of being one of 4000 at a County game rather than 75000 at a Premiership game. Section 13.1B of the MARION ( ACT Writers Centre) Constitution stipulates that all nominations must be received 14 days before the Annual General Meeting. We encourage anyone interested to apply for a position on the Board, particularly if you have experiencein financial management, fundraising and philanthropy. I now find the old board far, far less aggressive than the new ...and even though I am staunchly anti-Brexit and not a Tory supporter and Mozzer can confirm that, I feel uncomfortable with the new board’s aggression.
