it's really truly entertaining how things have come full circle - when Dave Larkin led his AAC campaign against the maac board, some of the current board viewed Dave's work outside the board as ok, now that SW zone is bucking the board we see quotes as such.

The defiance of MAAC has led to the authority of the Board, being challenged at every turn and the time has come for every member to ask him or herself whether they wish to see our national controlling organization treated in this fashion.

After forty years of membership, and as a member of the Board, I for one will never stand by and condone the attempts by a pressure group to usurp the authority of MAAC.

Keith also considered it a stretch when Applehoney indicate that "it could even be suggested that those eventually participating in that event could, by involvement, be furthering an attack on MAAC’s mandate to administer model aviation affairs in Canada." I strongly disagree with Keith on this point. There exists a small group of people whose avowed purpose would appear to be the undermining and discrediting of the current, democratically elected, MAAC administration.
Once cannot totally blame individuals in SW zone for their actions, the precedent for this type of activity in MAAC was set long ago.
Whether Dave Larkin or Rick Reid was right or wrong is history, the methods have not changed, some of the almighty righteous are not so righteous. History will judge the events.
I got tons of work done of my spitfire wing today while watching the NFL, time for a break, time to head over to the can and see if our resident maac know it all has made any more expert posts.
