Oh, good grief! BASSA to hold another rabble rousing meeting at a race course! They obviously have nothing better to do with the subscription money.
What can they possibly discuss (and I use that word advisedly) with a noticeable minority of their members, that can't be passed to those members by e-mail, or on their website. In fact, why has BASSA never given its members a single communique with hard facts, that the membership can make decisions on?
I suspect that the answer is that BASSA is incapable of communicating, and it has nothing of substance to communicate anyway. It is incapable of putting together anything coherent about the very deep hole it has dug for itself, and into which its members are being sucked.
Pointless get togthers at race courses? BASSA knows that only a handful (a couple of thousand out of a damn site more, is figuratively, a handful) of die-hards bother going to these things. But it likes to puff itself up as important, and with the die-hards there it can take all sorts of pointless votes with people who are happy to say 'yes' to anything, and make meaningless resolutions from them. Time wasters, the lot of them!
