I have been told that many people were disappointed in the show stand at the CLA and MGF, and also that very few people were manning it and those that were didnt seem to be informed about the organisation and its policies at all

NOBS gets its stands free, and free passes for people manning it.

I gave NOBS a six panel display board at Highclere Game Fair this year when I manned the stand with one other person, breaks down and folds up into a carry box, covered in velcro and cost me £380 - wonder where that has gone?

Surely instead of issuing a newsletter it would be better policy to pay expenses to people and ensure that there is adequate manpower on a stand? Nowadays fuel costs are a serious expense and whilst I have travelled a 150 mile round trip without quibble others may well not be able to afford the expense when their other costs have also risen rapidly.

Well I see they were offered some advice from a totally independent source - someone I helped out a few years ago when NOBs was but a tiny organisation (Oh bugger it still is!)

Anyway one of the ROs on NOBs openly slates her and shouts at her in his reply to her!! how rude and how fecking defensive - clearly something to hide.

I see they didnt like being told about sitting on their arse? funny how when I spoke to them both, what were they doing?

I also walked past a couple of hours before carrying an Eagle - yep they were sat down - minus the CEO who was probably off getting more freebies for himself
