Just a thought...

Did anyone actually bother to ask Tangy whether he thought it was 'unfair' for him to organise this year's Z1, or have you just gone and made the assumption? Perhaps he actually enjoys organising them and was looking forward to doing it?

I know that Martin and Roger have enjoyed their involvement in the last two years and both Z1's have been splendidly organised.... Not sure what the chain of thought was for 2012 perhaps they will be along to the thread soon and we will know......

On another note it would be nice if we could keep this topic moving forward in a positive vein rather than some of the very negative posts that have been submitted.... :)

I did mention it would be unfair to martin and Roger to organise for a 3rd year in a row perhaps they can help Myles who voluntered to organise it and it be nice to know the reasons why those 5 people have already said they cant make it personal reasons obviously shouldnt be mentioned but cant get holiday off would be a weak excuse! i have already had to take the day off plus others around that time.

Iain's a bit of a dark horse if he can get his speed up a tad as his rote planning is excellent :)
