UKHBPA - let's get it started

IdealStandard
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?

If the UKHBPA is gonna focus on rules, imo at least one of Jono and Bill should be sitting on the committee as a rules rep as they are (imo) without a doubt the most informed people in the UK about rules and reffing....

this stirred up more argument than i thought it would. I was merely thinking bout if UKHBPA wanted to look at the rule set, people who know their shit should be there to talk about it. Deffo didnt MEAN to say that UKHBPA SHOULD focus on the ruleset, that would be for discussion further down the line obviously. I was just thinking aloud that if it were to look at the rules as an association then the input of the people with the most knowledge would probably be useful. Its very early days, so maybe lets wait for luca to organise this first meeting and then work out what is feasible for the UKHBPA to actually do.

sorry for unintentionally stirring things up everyone, as you were

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).

hopefully not stirring up another hornets nest here but as it looks like the committee is going to be 100% male, shouldent there be a female presence? Maybe a Ladies rep or something? I posted on the Ladies Polo thread about this too...
