The only problem with The BBBofC is they give out to many licences to people with no experience and who could not run a bath let alone a professional sportsperson career or a boxing show.We all so have people getting trainers licences who could not train a dog to sit. Yes there are things that are wrong but so are there at The FA and The Jockey Club I notice is the ones who put less into the sport who are making all the noises and trying to cause trouble, This is a professional sport so if you want to play with the big boys put your hands in your pockets and putt some thing back into the business of boxing.

Whats the vote about ,what is the significance of the vote for Boxing in the UK ?

Mmmm think you have mis understood what tommorow
Is all about Steve Wood Miranda Carter Steve Goodwin Tommy Gilmour
PJ Rowson Jon Peeg Keith Mayo Dave Coldwell Chris Sanigar and Myself
Are all small hall promoters and everyone of us have put are hands
In our pockets and lost money promoting
So who is your post meaning??? All these people above
Are attending this meeting tomorrow So are you saying the
Board shouldn't have give them Licences All the
People above are going just to ask about the
Increase in licence fees and getting rid of
The finacial councils Whatever other people
Are going for that's up to them Just find that post really strange

Reading that makes me sound spanish.
Agree with what Jane says an AGM is there for anyone to go and ask questions about the organisations that they are members of.However small yr role maybe you still have a right to ask why things happen.
I cant think of anyone who puts the time or effort or cash without a healthy return that steve woods puts in but it looks like his place on his area council is being taken away from him? surely him going to find out why this is happining is his choice as a licenceholder to ask?

did you answer my post or FTM ? Im a bit confused about the whole thing!

Area councils should be run by experienced independant people rather than licence holders that are financially interested.

Who are they to pass judgement on fellow licence holders?

How did it go today guys ?

That Welsh guy on the Board - wow! what an............interesting character!

Who was there?

Frank Maloney,Tommy gilmour,Ricky hatton,Andy Ayling,Richard poxon,Steve Wood,Jane Couch,Brendan and John Ingle,Glyn Rhodes,Joe Gallagher,Bruce Baker,Miranda Carter,Steve Goodwin,John swanson,Paul Graham(i think)Jim Evans,Tex woodward,Myself,Ken morton,Max maxwell,Curtis woodhouse,wayne reed,Anthony crolla,Joe Murray,Robin deakin,Kris laight,alain bihapibap,Geoff Hunter,Chris sanigar,Paul Speak,Paul gough and Tommy ghent. These are the guys from memory there were a few guys from up north who i didnt know but over all a great turn out and nearly all the major promoters represented as well as a lot of the grass roots guys and a fair amount of boxers.
Matt macklin was floating around but not in the meeting

Frank,Andy,Tommy Steve wood,Miranda carter,Bruce baker and the ingles realy led the way talking wise and put home some good points but all the licence holders were there to support each other and the board took on board what was said and came to an agreement that was needed.

P.S how good is my recall of faces

Your recall is great - Especially Geoff Hunter, is he the former heavyweight journeyman?

Yeh good guy Geoff hes got a manager and a trainers licence now.

So what was agreed?

The plan to put up licence fees has been shelved and the new constitution has been put on the table untill the board have had discussion with a group of representive licence holders decided by the licence holders at a later date.

I wonder what the board would have said if I'd brought up Frans Botha not being allowed to fight in this country, even though the guy he beat in his last fight would almost certainly get permission.

never seen the Gallagher Gym members that you mentioned but I got there five minutes late so maybe they left before it started.

It was interesting to see how it all played out. I was sat behind Mirdanda and she was making some simple requests but board seemed to make hard work of the answers.

Who's the big guy with the white hair on the top table in that picture ?

The one who always seems to be barging other people out the way to get his head on camera at weigh INS etc

Thats Mr. Giles.

The only two that came across well are Robert Smith and the financial advisor, the rest of them (that spoke) came across like guys that didnt want to be found out. Defensive and passive aggressive.
