Zappa 0 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Why, who did he take along ? Fellow RFB members or no ? Fellow RFB members yes, but taking an 18 year old and a 21 year old (probably the two least mature or experienced members of the RFB) along to a meeting with Llambias and Leach when apparently at least 4 RFB members hadn't even been made aware that a meeting was taking place never mind asked to attend was very poor judgement. A completely bizarre course of action IMO. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Fellow RFB members yes, but taking an 18 year old and a 21 year old (probably the two least mature or experienced members of the RFB) along to a meeting with Llambias and Leach when apparently at least 4 RFB members hadn't even been made aware that a meeting was taking place never mind asked to attend was very poor judgement. A completely bizarre course of action IMO. As I pointed out at the time, regardless of the age of the persons involved, the Chair did not have the authority to take that action and I am in no doubt that his colleagues told him that in no uncertain terms in the succeeding conference call. I think I can say with some degree of certainty that at least 5 of the remaining 11 did not know that the meeting was taking place and that includes the Secretary, whether due to the time difference for for any other reason. The only person who I have been able to establish who did know about the meeting but was unable to attend was the VC, Christine Murdoch. With the gratest of respect to William Findlay and Alison Clark-Dick, who simply don't have the necessary expereince to go up against these two, I suspect that their presence at the first meeting was met with some relief by Messrs Llambias and Leach.

Bluedell 5,366 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm left wondering if the resignation had anything to do with the "unauthorised" production of the minutes yesterday? The timing seems too coincidental. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing seems too coincidental. I would agree but it was the cowards way out if it was the reason. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrahimHemdani 1 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 The two events are entirely unrelated. The timing is at best unfortunate to say the least; although if dictated by health issues may have been unavoidable. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing seems too coincidental. Apparently not. But perhaps FS would now like to confirm that Tom Clements actually resigned on the morning after the meeting but that this was not made public to avoid the obvious inference being drawn. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
