To the members of ASRA.

It is really no surprise to me that every year we get less and less people willing to put their hand up to work on the ASRA Board on behalf of the members.

The sh*tfight that is continuing to rear it ugly head is both destructive and time wasting to the current ASRA Board.

One of the first things I did in office was to move that all correspondence and reference to the "Hub bar" affair cease immediately. An affirmative vote from the Board was achieved.

This problem,resulting from an alleged non compliance to an ASRA airworthiness directive has been simmering away for over a year now with the original Board,that the people involved were on, unwilling or unable to fix the problem.

It is disappointing to see Llewella deliberately misrepresent the determination of the caretaker Board in dismissing Tim McClure's complaint concerning John Evan's conduct.

Llewella knows from discussions with board members that her interpretation that John has been exonerated is false.

The caretaker Board had serious reservations about John's behaviour in this dispute however it determined that with a lack of independent evidence a disciplinary committee would be unlikely to reach a verdict on Tim's complaint.

On these grounds alone it dismissed the complaint. In no way has the Caretaker Board or the present Board ever conveyed to either party that John has been exonerated.

The Board upholds the right of members to freely publish their thoughts and opinions on our forum however it is a pity when this privilege is abused by members pushing their own destructive agendas.

President.
