The Mick Ayers thing again

At CCBN's AGM this coming Sunday (19/10/08) the EC will be doing their best to kill off any discussion of the Mick Ayers loan non-payment scandal. Doubtless they'll be saying things like 'we should look to the future and not keep raking over the past.'
In looking to the future, one thing members will be voting on is membership fees. members may ask 'Why should be vote for increased subs., only to have our money thrown away by an EC who waste money and let Chairmen off their loans?'. An understandable viewpoint, especially as CCBN's history of actually sticking to a budget is very chequered, and their constant U turns on the matter of Mick Ayers.
Members may also be asking how it was that at their meeting on 16th June the EC passed the following resolution:
" The Executive Council of CCBN confirms that it has not authorised at any time the write off of any loan to its former Chairman, Michael Ayers, nor has it delegated the authority to write off personal loans to any other person or body." and authorised me to initiate action for recovery under the Small Claims Procedure of the County Court; and then on the 16 August, they reversed the decision, there being no change in the surrounding circumstances, other than that Richard Daniels chaired the later meeting (Richard Daniels was Treasurer when Ayers wrote off his own loan without telling anyone in CCBN). Richard Daniels had previously stood back and let Reg Barlow handle this matter within CCBN, due to his own involvement in the events in question, but suddenly (as soon as I had resigned from the EC) he grabbed back the handling of the matter, and in fact persuaded the EC not to handle it at all. Even his own proposal to set up an enquiry has been quietly shelved.
Personally I have no confidence in this EC, and the lack of any new blood on the EC after the AGM gives me no confidence in the next one. If they can't handle this matter properly, how can they be trusted with anything else?
