Another loss to S.A Harness Racing.
The head CEO has just given 6 weeks notice
When is the Board going to get their heads out of you know were.
This is our bread and butter.
Wake up and let the people do what they are employed to do.
Don’t tie there hands so they are so frustrated they leave .

[bayman]

hooch, are you actually surprised though ?

[Hooch]

No
Just disapointed that the powers above are so stupid!!!!!
What will they do to us next .
Its not them that has to talk to owners , and pay the feed bills .
They dont live of off it ..

[bayman]

hooch, can i add that 60 years ago we were at or almost at the pinnacle of harness racing in australia even though we raced for about 6 months of the year.....so since then how has it gone so pear shaped & why can't anyone fixed the problems ?

[BEEJAY]

Because their is two seperate identities trying to run the ship the morons over at globe derby and HRSA

[Hooch]

Beejay What can i say
You nailed it ..

[overloaded]

lack of public interest is the main factor as to why it is so carp

[Professor]

Just another nail in the coffin

Todays paper mentions that Mike Godber has been appointed interim cheif. Formally worked as the head of QLD Harness Racing and had worked as CEO of Addington in NZ. Sounds like a good appointment.

That last statement "sounds like a good appointment'' was said when they got david aldred & how long did he last ?


they have to get rid of the knuckleheads before they'll become progressive

[Hooch]

The word is Mike Godber wont be staying, hes only here for about 2 months .

No add should read [ Puppet Wanted ]

This is up to the members now to get rid of the people in charge i can think of 3 straight away
So if you are a member
Do something, It is the members that have the power.

I'm interested:

3 - 4 years ago:
There was massive debt
Prize money was at a low

Today there's:
Money in the bank
Record prize money
Distribution of funds for club infrastructure improvements

and the industry is probably in the best shape its been in for the past 14 years

So, who are the 3 you'd get rid of and I assume you'd go on the board?

[Hooch]

Yes the board is in the best position it has been in for years .
but with Aldred gone who is going to take us to the next level .
The board needs a puppet to do its work they should have let Aldred do his job and but out!!
Re job "You should never assume anything "
Good , Stand , & George would be the 3 i would get rid of.
