I would like to echo the thanks to John. I think that John would bring a great deal to the presidents role. I know full well that the progress of our team would be nothing like what it has been over the last year.

That said Jenny has also played a very important role of making the whole team feel very welcome and listening to whine and moan on occassions.

It really is a very difficult decision for me/us as there are two very capable candidates and to be honest it's a choice between the best and the best.

I would like to hear each of the candidates define quite clearly what they see as the duties of the president not just bullet points but what they intend to do. Things always work out different to what people plan but an indication of the time they have available to carry out the role would also be good. I am very clearly of the opinion that tv money would by its very nature be relatively short lived and not necessarily be a long term benefit to the sport and therefore lose interest when it's mentioned. My interest is in what people would do to help promote the sport from a grass roots level meaning there is a growth in the sport. Making it easier to work within schools, set up local clubs etc etc. and I would be very interested in hearing their opinions on how we help to promote this. Making the sport more accessible, even though the technology is not that hard for most of what we do I did find it VERY difficult to get up and running in the sport.
