I've just posted this on the BS forum, for those who don't know there is a lot of criticism of the chairmans involvement in FISH N TIPS magazine.

This magazine has been "slated" everywhere, the Cemex boys gave it lots of criticism, as did lots of other forums. Steve I haven't got a problem with you "personally" associating yourself with it, but when you try and involve the BS in it saying it is good publicity, I think that is scandalous coming from the chairman.

Over the last 5 years the downturn in membership figures has been a thorn in the committee’s side (as I well know). You and Fred need to take a long hard look at the irreparable damage you have both done to the BS. Mainly on the internet forums, where Freds rantings and ravings have got him into hot water with moderators on frequent occasions and ending up with him being banned/suspended, one of which was the BS's own forum and you backing him at the time... (Not really the impression the BS, PR man should be giving to the outside world is it?).
