UKHBPA - let's get it started

So not willing to illuminate why you are ruling out Jono & I from participating in some way in the process? I don't get it. I am happy for Ben to represent London on UKHBPA, so in that sense I have no desire to be on the UKHBPA, but I would have hoped that Jono, at least, would be consulted about the rules etc, because he has had more contact with the NAH & the Euros than anyone in else in the UK.

One of the things I don't like about this forum is the user names. I have a hard time putting faces to names and vice versa in real life, never mind adding in non-referential user names. Who exactly am I addressing?

Bill - that is not what I meant and not what I said. I think that you should have considerable input and your views and understanding should be consulted (I believe I said that in my post). What I said was that making a special position for you and Jono on a currently non-existant decision making body seemed random and unconstructive. In order for the UKHBPA to live up to it's name and hold weight it needs to be making decisions based on the majority view with input from those who have the best understanding and consideration of each specific issue it has to deal with.

I think that for the UKHBPA to work it primarily needs to be representative and able to listen to many individuals (I did not mean to insinuate that you were incapable of doing that).

I think that anyone who is chosen to represent London will do a good job and I agree that proportional representation is sound considering how much London pushes forward UK polo, but I don't think this should stretch to including on or two more London players on the board in relation to a specific issue.

I think that either you or Jono would be eminently capable of being part of the UKHBPA and what I wrote is not fair in what it says about your abilities to represent London, but that wasn't the proposal. The idea was to create a special position for you and Jono specifically related to rules. Do you even want that?
