Hi Janet
Do you want the players involved with the meeting?
Only reason I ask is obviously Tuesday is a training night for the open age.

I thought this was all about helping the club because it seems to me its back to being a power struggle, why does it have to be a major meeting, whats wrong with having a low key chat between the committee and people that want to help to see if between us we can improve the open age, all thats happening at the moment is players reading all this crap again and thinking is it worth it, yes things have gone wrong but no matter whos there it will take at least 3 years to get back to premiership and thats saying we get back to back promotions

Yes Kip , if players want to be there,, training is 7 till 8 isnt it.
And yes gunner I understand what you are saying ,, but if the players want to come and have a listen to things that could happen and improve things for them , hopefully they will think it is worth it.

Yes - sorry, wasn't meaning to cause another revolution! Just feel that the players are obviously a big part of the open age so would be good for them to be present if they want to be. I'm sure a few wont be bothered and a few will just listen in but I think they should be there if they want to be.

I think its best to sit round a table and discuss what help we can do without the committee feeling like its a lynch mob because if its a room full of people it'll end up a farce, because the first time a committee member disagrees with a comment made by someone they'll get shot down and nothing good will come out of it, like keeps getting said we want to help so lets make it a bit less formal were people dont feel threatened and more good will come out of the meeting

To be honest gunner , we have appealed to the committee , I have rang Jim Hoffman , janet as rang Jim Hoffman , Jim was clear that the committee are working very hard and said yes there were a couple of problems but they were being sorted , dave Coyle , gary grainy despite appeals to them have not been in touch . What janet as suggested is a meeting of anyone who holds leigh east dear to there hearts , to come along and talk about why the present people at the club don't want to talk . Janet as included an invite to the present committee . Look at the strength of this forum , two thousand views , centurions also as two thousand views , the ncl forum as over 1500 views . People are interested in what's happening . If gary or dave or Jim or Geoff rang me today and said let's talk around the table then yes put the the big meeting back .
It's not a power struggle john , WE DONT want to be on a committee , We DONT want to change any of the present committee WE WANT to help in any way we can . They did not want myself or janet back last time . We are knocking on the door again because of the state of the open age . We want c Snape , alan Hadcroft and dave radley back . We want to help the present players to achieve there goals . We can do it but if they get relegated this time john I'm afraid our club will die , I have the numbers at 7-12 age group it's frightening , they are the lowest since the juniors joined 20 years ago

Its not a lynch mob and they will not get shot down ,, but everyone has to listen and be listened too ,, and decisions for the greater good of the club need to be made.
We need to hear peoples feelings and thoughts and GO FORWARD..... not stand still and definatley not backwards.......
We need to put differences aside and focus on Leigh East as a family orientated community RLFC.

All im bothered about janet is what if someone disagrees with you or keith, ur both very strong willed and could quite easily baffle some of um with ur knowledge on things or both of u start dragging things that have gone on which for me will not help, yes things have got bad probally the worst its been in a very long time but lets all for the good of east look forward not back and slowly start to put a feel good back in the club

Well steve is my best mate and let me tell you that he would not put up with what's been going on . He would give them more grief than any of us . Absolutely no chance

Playing numbers at 7-12 registered with the league are the lowest in leigh east history ,
U7 12 U8. 6 U9. 9 U10. 12 U11. 17 U12. 16
I know Phil mol is working very hard to increase these numbers and put the chairman to right over numbers at the AGM, if Phil needs any help then there are people out there who can help him

My mate at blackbrook tells me that they have twice the amount of players and do not charge subs

Maybe thats one of the problems keith, not only cost of subs and membership but the price of a pint as well when u can go anywhere sat afternoon and get a pint of carlsburg cheaper without membership discount

Well some clubs are doing well , folly lane over 50 kids at 8and 9s . Golborne are upto 5 junior teams from zero a while ago , I know east junior coaches are working extremely hard and well done to them , maybe we could have a recruitment drive or a festival day following visits to schools like Micheal jones did a few years ago
