I am distressed at the downfall of Western Bay of Plenty Greypower. When I resigned I thought I left it in good hands and that with the revived membership of 1800 it was poised to continue to grow and develop.
The public falling out of those who say they have the best interests of the organization at heart is very sad.
I believe the vituperative bitter personal attacks on everyone within range are unacceptable.
I want to say publicly that Viv Worlledge is one of the most honest, hard working and caring peopIe I have met in the voluntary sector.
There is a saying 'a good women is above rubies”. Viv is a good woman.
I would welcome any investigation by an independent qualified accountant or auditor of the accounts and records from my time as President. This would demonstrate we had nothing to hide and much to be proud of.
