I sympathise, but surely there must be someone within BCA who can post a couple of PDFs on the BCA's website?
I wonder if anyone on here can help suggest some alternative ways that the BCA could share their documents with the wider caving community that doesn't require any particular IT expertise (as an interim measure while the new IT convener is finding their feet)? I'm not sure if UKCaving is able to host PDF files as attachments/posts? If so, can the missing documents be posted here?
Does BCA have the capabilities to email its members at the moment?
Sorry for not letting this one go, I appreciate this has become a bit of a one-man rant, and isn't aimed you personally, Allan. I know first-hand the demands of the BCA Secretary role, and the thanklessness of the job. I also appreciate the BCA's activities are often stifled by a a lack of volunteers. However, there are certain core functions that really cannot be allowed to slip and must be prioritised. Ensuring transparency on what BCA has been doing for the last 14 months, by publicising AGM and Council meeting documents is definitely one of them.
It's great to hear that you have found a new IT convener, and hopefully this will allow many of these issues to be quickly resolved.
I understand that the upcoming AGM could see a number of other new people coming into BCA roles which could set the organisation in a stronger direction, so hopefully the volunteer situation will improve. I'm looking forward to seeing further details about the agenda (including proposals and details of those standing for roles) very soon.
