walter you keep saying certain people... veiled accusations against nameless people so either start naming or stop sh*t stirring.

Talking about projects, was anything discussed about the exhibition because I haven't heard anything lately?

Gayle I got the impression (obviously wrong) that it was your (not you personal) exhibition and the supp club was helping you... Whats the real situation then.... Interested to know please :)

It's not my exhibition, it's the supporters clubs but I suppose I can understand how that impression might be given.

Thisis how it came about. I spoke to Rob Heyes ages ago about using the clubhouse to put on Vagina Monologues. Whilst there I mentioned that it would be an ideal time to hold an exhibition about Accrington Stanley, given that at the time they were looking like they were going to win. He agreed so I looked into the option of lottery funding on his behalf. Rob and I had a meeting with heritage lottery but the outcome of that was that, although they would probably fund it, it would need to go through a supporters club, (Heritage Lottery can not fund organisations with a turnover of over £100k).

So, I spoke to a member of the supporters club and told them the situation so far. I then had a meeting with them about it and told them what would be needed to progress it.

My position is this - if the supporters club want an exhibition then I will help them apply for the funding. I would not put in any fee for doing all the work involved in sending off the funding bid because I think it's a great time for an exhibition and I am happy to help with funding bids (I have offered to help lots of other community and social groups obtain this sort of funding because I believe this area should be going for as many as possible). If the supporters club get the funding then they will be responsible for deciding how to manage it - not me. If at that point they want to appoint me as project manager then some of the funding would go towards paying my professional fees. However, I have stressed and will stress again, that if they get the funding and want to appoint anyone else as project manager then I am not bothered one iota. The aim is to get the funding and the exhibition first, beyond that I really do not need to be involved.

Now, I know that there are some people who think I'm doing it for personal gain but I'd rather walk away right now than cause any problems.

sigh.... are you related to walter? you shouldnt make blanket accusations and have everyone wondering who these people are :(

I would say your probably the only person who could project manage it... no one at supporters club could.. thats not an attack or insult... each to his own.. i know all the "active" members and theres isnt the time or experience available within them :)

i think you should get on with it and ignore criticism if it did materialize do you think howarth art gallery would be interested in hosting it ..could open a few avenues .

waltergalbraith 17-06-2006 11:45

Re: Two important meetings coming up

KIPAX 17-06-2006 11:50

Re: Two important meetings coming up
 
So let me get this right.. your giving advice to a professional project manager to ignore hyperthetical critizism ?

Is there any coffee in your house ? :)

I can't just 'get on with it' because although I can say what I think we should be doing, it has to have full support from the supporters club - by full support I mean that the committee has to agree to what's going in the forms and to sign them. They also need a constitution before I can do anything and from what I understand at the moment there isn't one.

It seems to me that in other (perhaps more blunt) words Gayle; the supporters club need to draw their debating old pipes & warm ale away from chrimbo fairy lights costing too much and get something positive done for a nice change.
Seems a good idea to me by the way.

As I said originally, don't bloody criticise others when you won't do anything yourself. While you are at it why don't you stop insulting people everytime you post a message.
