This has gone far enough. Be nice to each other and stop this nonsense everyone. It is counterproductive.
BVARC is a great club and many members selfishly step up to the plate to help run it. We need to recognize their contributions and thank them. There is plenty of room for other to step in and help if they want to see changes in the club.
