Re: Resignation of President and Executive of Canoeing Irela

This being the Internet....

By way of some clarification:

Our resignations are the result of a serious disagreement with the Board.

There is no wrongdoing or malfeasance on the part of the Board or any of it's members. They too, are hard working volunteers.

My post is intended to ensure that ...

Resignation of President and Executive of Canoeing Ireland

Dear Canoeing Ireland members and Clubs,

I was honoured by the membership of Canoeing Ireland to be elected as President last year.

I have been privileged this year to work with an excellent hard working team of fellow elected volunteers on the Executive.

On Wednesday night 12th December 2012 ...

Olympic 2012

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to congatulate Eoin Rheinisch and Hannah Craig for their excellent performances in London 2012.

Many people through work commitments haven't been able to see the excellent coverage being generated, so here are the links to the streamed EBU footage:

Re: Conflict of Interest with Related Party Transaction

Hi Everyone,

That first posting was clear as mud, but maybe that was the intention...please, if you've something to ask then just ask it.

For the record, to the best of my recollection in twenty two years I have never had any business dealings with the ICU.

I've not been asked to tender for ...

Election for ICU President

Hi Everyone,

Below is a copy of the flyer I'm emailing to the Chairpersons of ICU registered clubs.

I'm posting it here first out of respect for the good work that this forum, its contributers and moderators have done for paddling over the last few years.

I probably won't post any more comments ...

Re: A question I have for Nominees for ICU Executive Committ

Hi Seanie,

As a nominee to the executive I wish to make clear that I have no plans to re-hire Mr Scanlon if elected.

Yours in paddling,

Re: New TDU Newsletter

Hi Noel,

I didn't realise I was shouting....or that Kevin's comments were a rant, or rude for that matter.

They sounded perfectly reasonable, and polite to me.

I note that yet again in your reply you've chosen the route of diatribe rather than respond to my legitimate questions.

I believe that ...

Re: New TDU Newsletter

Hi Noel,

Thanks for the quick reply.

You are correct about my missing your point - I still do. You haven't addressed my points in your reply. The internal turmoil within the ICU regarding the CEO is only partially relevant to Kevin's article.

For your own information - given your stated lack of ...

Re: New TDU Newsletter

Hi Noel,

Just a couple of points.

I've known Kevin for over 20 years, he's not one for sniping from the sidelines. Indeed, in both his professional and personal capacities, he has contributed hugely to the development and growth of our sport over the last 20 years.

He too gives large amounts his ...
