Next LHBPA meeting - Monday 8.10.12 at 19:30pm (The Ship) SE1

Dont confuse London Bike Polo with the LHBPA.

I wasn't, and I purposely wrote London Bike Polo as it is important to keep it separate from any issues that the Association have. Just as the league is separate from the Association. But most things that come through the Association affect LBP in some way, such as this latest issue. By keeping non-members informed at least, we could have avoided this. E.g. the first I heard about half the community being excluded was the thread 3 days ago as opposed to 4 months. I think its fair for us to raise a question in this instance.

That already happens though. Dont confuse London Bike Polo with the LHBPA. There is a need for a specific LHBPA members forum. Youre absolutely right, in that the forum should have the power to make binding decisions in the right circumstances. It doesnt have to replace the real meetings. But it should be open only to registered LHBPA members.

London Bike Polo exists on here already in that form. Its a Community. Its inclusive. We have those votes and debates all the time, and theyre extensions of the debates we have every time we play, and they feed back into the things we discuss next time we meet. It doesnt need improving because it works already

I 100% agree with you :)
