How about it, Marina Da Gama, are you ready for it? Stuart I don’t want to be funny, but I think it’s time we get rid of this association once and for all.

How about it, Marina Da Gama, are you ready for it?

The Marina is waiting with bated breath for your comment on Anita's letter. Don't tell me that the Chairman's report is not the official view of the Excom. What utter rubish. If it's not the official view, let us know what is and give this terrible charirman the sack. So by the way, who is this Toni fellow and where did he get off the bus? What's wrong with san marina that we don't deserve our verges serviced. And if so, why are subs demanded of us? Hey, Excom. The Marina is waiting with bated breath for your comment on Anita’s letter.

In Nov 2006 I attended an AGM to try and get a better grasp. During the meeting I was horrified at the way the chairman treated a resident who asked a reasonable question on the content of a recent press article. The chairman exhorted the resident, in a condescending and patronising way to "don't believe everything you read in the newspapers." Really? Normally if one wants to verify the veracity of a statement or "newspaper" article one would go to the best available source of information, and at an AGM that would be the chairman of the Association. Instead this resident did not get an answer whilst being treated like a child. This opened my eyes and I started reading whatever I could, including that awful letter. My initial perception of the attitude of the chairman and excom towards the residents was steadily reinforced. This research has brought to me the point where I can wholeheartedly endorse every single word of JT's comment. Well done and thank you.

I could not have said it better; in fact, I could not have said it at all. Thank you for speaking my mind, JT. I think you echo many a Marina resident’s thoughts.
