I have been sent a copy of the following by a number of people and been asked for a copy by a number more so thought it easier to just post it here. Malc Foyle has kindly given his permission as the author and paraphrasing - 'is happy for it to be posted on UK Caving. It has been circulated in the Wessex Journal to all their members plus anyone who subscribes to it plus a copy will be in the BCA/BCRA Library, so feel free. It is in the public domain'.
I am posting it as me, not as BCA P&I Officer.
I took it personally when the infamous proposals were put forward, particularly the one re P&I and it is why I am not standing for the position again, that and the resignations of Matt & Gary from BCA Council.
Reading this letter has brought me hope that maybe current issues can be sorted out as awareness is raised, discussions had and all cavers properly represented, leading to more volunteers once again finding satisfaction in what they do for BCA rather than resigning or leaving when their term is up. I hope BCA will move forward and be the National Body caving needs. Thank you Malc for writing it.
