Steve Pope has announced on the Barbel Society Facebook page that he would like suggestions from “NONE BS MEMBERS” on how the BS should change if they are to attract new members. He is emphasising that given the BS Facebook group page has nearly 3,000 members, and very few of these are in membership of the BS, “What can the Barbel Society do to make you join?”
Over the years I have always told Steve Pope that the lack of democracy within the BS was wrong and that because of this it would fall into demise. This has happened with the BS membership falling to an all time low, hence his call for suggestions from “none members” on their facebook page.
I am barred from adding my suggestions because Steve Pope barred me from the BS Facebook page for doing exactly what he is requesting now. Even so, I will give my opinions here;
I am convinced that Steve Pope is the right man to lead the BS back from the abyss but he should listen to those like Lawrence Breakspeare who favour the adoption of democracy. Steve Pope should not walk away from the BS but should remain strong and determined to put right all that which has clearly gone wrong on his watch.
Total clarity based upon total democracy is the way forward. It’s the basis on which our glorious fishing clubs have maintained their memberships for well over a hundred years.
But as I said, I cannot comment on the BS Facebook page but you all can.
Regards,
BK.
