Weds Feb 5th 2014It's been a crazy long time since the last open meeting indeed. Actually, I might just have the poster for it... No, that was for February of last year. After much browsing, I've found a diary date for September 19th last year instead. If that was the last one, it was still well over a year from this next one. How can they justify that, apart from with the truth, that they didn't want to hold a meeting they would have had trouble keeping me from attending? I wonder if they've even bought the salt spreaders yet?

Was it really so long ago? I feel that I went to a meeting earlier this year, but I can't say when.

Was that the meeting you came to the start of, to see if they would stop me from attending? I stand to be corrected on the date of it, and perhaps Paul Harries can confirm or deny it, or someone else, if he's not the spokesman.
That we've waited far too long for the next open meeting is something I'm sure we can agree on.
I see Eddie is venting about me again. It's funny that the fella so eager to call me a 'liar' says this site is just you, me and a bunch of spammers. There are about a half dozen other posters on this board who aren't spammers either, even though they don't post. The Gloucestershire Boards are just the same. The difference is that I don't pretend the spammers are part of any 'legitimate' poster count. Anyone looking at the members list can see from their names alone, in most cases, what they are, and from what they posted, which can be viewed in the spam folder.
So yes, I do say the Boards are a mess, and even the old members, like Poppy, agree, however much they may have dissed me, because they aren't posting much, if at all, anymore. Where is Gymnasian Friendship Café (GFC), when my challenging of Reyaz Limahlia over Fair Shares is what triggered my banning? Maybe when Eddie is prepared to give me a right of reply, he can indulge his hypocrisy, but right now he just keeps on proving how farcicial his signature is.
After all, Eddie has a low opinion of TiG, GFM, the BBC, and judging by his view of the 'minorities' recruitment affair, the Gloucestershire police, but he's happy to give them credit for having good reasons to ban me. He should produce a full list of 'every board in the county', so we can judge their worth as well. GAVCA? Truly, his eye is a wonderful thing...
NB though, Kay, I did know about the sell-off of the farm to the FC well before September, but not that the piece of park land they had fenced off for a paddock had been leased for twenty years, and certainly not for the purposes of building a riding arena.
Brrr, and now to bed again. Only came down to check Twitter and then turn off the computer, but there were things I couldn't ignore.

From a post I wrote on the Arrest at AGM thread, I now remember that the last meeting that I tried to attend was this year's AGM in May. I really only turned up to see if the police would attack you again, but they didn't. I don't know if the AGM actually counted as an open meeting.

That's right, it was the AGM you went to. No, that wasn't the open meeting, where the emergency plan supplies were given into my care, while Rachel was a committee member. I know that it was after this, following a meeting in April 2013, that Rachel was also kicked off the committee, and out of the partnership, for defending me against the lies of Mo Patel and others, without being invited to defend herself. The AGM might have been seen as a kind of proxy open meeting, or at least a justification for not holding one around the same time, if they hadn't wasted so much time on ephemera.
As it is, I really think they have been fighting shy of having another open meeting while there is still a risk of me challenging them, and there will always be that risk while they behave so disgracefully. But again, if Paul Harries can come up with another excuse for the delay...

After the last open meeting in February of this year, I'm sure there's been nothing besides the AGM. Lorraine Mutty thinks there are supposed to be three open meetings a year, so it seems like someone's running scared from questioning, since they hold the local priority/Street Rep meetings at the police station now, and officers prevent me from entering.
At least Moreland Partnership, 'exemplar' as it was, had the integrity to pack it in...

If they do bother to have another public meeting, perhaps someone could raise the matter of the 'community garden' next to the Trust Centre which, according to Saturday's Citizen, now belongs to the nursery and has had a free makeover and won a police award. The continuing corruption is shocking.

I have an email reply from an 'Ahmed S; Sajid', to my writetothem message. I don't want to open it on my Fire phone for reasons already given, but it shows the first line, which in this instance seems to be the whole thing:
The garden has not been sold to no one,it is still a community garden. Yours sincerely Cllr. [sic, grammar and spacing]
I'm also waiting for AOL to throw up incoming mail on my computer screen, but until then, I have a pretty good idea what the 'several personal reasons' one is about...

After being told more than a week ago by Sajid patel that the the BTD would be sending me a letter, it finally arrived on Friday (sent by post rather than by hand as they used to do with en masse letters to the trust members). Besides claiming that the full questionnaire results were 'given to you in an e mail by the Chair' (they weren't just a risible excuse for not doing so in the letter sent to members, of 'there is very little point in taking forward options that have not been ratified as they are likely to be challenged'), the letter also states that the garden was not sold and will still be available for community use, 'lightly' managed by BTD.
Oh, and the money from the sale of the building, after 'all outstanding debts were cleared', was £9852.81. Apparently, there are still payments 'accruing daily', for 'Accountants Fees Insurance etc.' (with the occasional thou or so skimmed off the top?) How this is happening is a mystery, until one sees that the 'Trustees of the Barton and Tredworth Community Trust' apparently still exist, and are 'in the process of liaising with the Charity Commissioners'. With the assistance of Paul Harries, who failed to keep the promise made at the AGM to investigate the committee's unjustified dismissal of me, I wonder?

Should've gone to a well known chain of opticians, Joe. The actual amount left over from the sale is stated to be £98,952.81, which is far more than I had expected.
It's nice to have a statement that the Community Garden is still [supposedly] open to the "the community". When I have time, I'm going to test my theory that I am not a member of the stated community...

Maths was never my strong suite, and I did have to check the figure a few times, but I settled on just shy of a hundred thou in the end. A typo was my undoing...
I'm still staggered that so much was left over, but selling the building was still the best idea they could come up with. Then again, their only interest was getting rid of the debt, and any possible penalty they would be personally landed with, not the interest of the community.
It really is unlocked, or was last time I looked. It still seems that most people won't make use of it, sadly.

So...what happened at the BTNP open meeting on 5th? I bet they didn't have Harjit Gill as their keynote speaker! Comments about him on the Citizen website have been disappearing. I said that he was being used as a cat's paw, but apparently such criticism is not to be allowed - it must constitute 'abuse'.

... and now all of the comments on the poisonous daffodils story on the Citizen website have also been deleted, and I don't think that any of them was abusive. What a pity that the moderator can't stop the Rupert Harden troll from ruining any rugby-related story.
