BradW, if you are going to suggest that the account of events given by Jenny Potts earlier in this thread is incorrect then will you please explicitly state why you think this to be the case.
If your memory is struggling BradW, you could try contacting the BCA library. I am sure that the librarian would be more than happy to locate the meeting minutes and reports from the time to confirm precisely what happened.
It is because I have available the Minutes of the NCA C&A Meeting and the NCA Council Meeting I referred to (they are in the British Caving Library), that I am able to say precisely what was agreed during the original discussions on access to caves in open country prior to CRoW legislation coming into force. The Library also has the original government consultation documents and the NCA C&A Group's response to these. I checked every detail way back in 2014 when I first began to think something strange had happened.
All BCA Council and AGM Meeting Minutes are online so anyone can check what I have said.
There is, as far as I am aware, only one set of Minutes from a BCA (or NCA) C&A meeting during Elsie Little's time in post and I believe these are online but I can't recall the date. (There were only two C&A Group meetings convened by her between her taking up the post in, I think 1999 or 2000, and her death in 2013, but one set of Minutes was apparently lost.) However, there is no record anywhere available to BCA members that I have ever seen of any discussions relating to CRoW during her time in post; there is certainly nothing in the one set of Minutes which exist. If the subject was ever discussed during this time, it was not during a formal minuted meeting of the C&A Group.
