They're at it again - big fight!.
and unsurprisingly starring the gold-fish one ( who else?) and the subject being heli-skiing, old bun-fights concerning the club.,etc....
makes one lose the desire to live

Thanks for the breathless report, hibernia.
Is this a membership drive, or a suicide note?

If anyone wishes to cut 'n paste the thread over here I've no objection. The other copyright holders can state their own preferences.
The future of heli-skiing is, actually, a relevant environmental issue for us all.

That was the title of the thread, but it changed to other things that lead to the slanging match.

hibernia, out of mild curiosity, are they actually debating the issue, or has the argument moved on to some other non-related matter that happens here?

I think its safe to say that David Goldsmith is not The Abominable Tim Brown

Ray Zorro, no refeence to snowheads, but wait, it does concern a thread that did appear on snowheads about six or so months ago ( ? )concerning a snowhead called snowball on this section ( SCGB ) of the site. So the original issue, that has now developed into a slanging match, apologies requested, etc...., appears to have been a Snowheads posting.

Its well worth watching, and its keeping Mr Goldsmith fully occupied which leaves us in peace for a while. He launched 6 or 7 threads in about 10 days and then waited for people to bite which they did in a manner that must have made his day. Mr Goldsmith has taken a few hits below the waterline especially his habit of refusing to answer awkward questions.

Masque, I don't think anyone would object to your turning up at the Ski Club Ball, Royal Lancaster Hotel, in a mask.
'Black tie' is obligatory. Dress suggestions:

I'd agree with that too. The problem is that our Club's forum is almost devoid of fresh threads and new blood, and we're a 30,000-member body.
So it's a bit of a moot point.

The Abominable snowHead,
I thought one of your main concerns was that the SCGB was not attracting a big enough percentage of the skier/snowboarder population of the UK ?
You keep asking questions about added value from their website, magazine, reps and the number of new skiers signed up by the reps. I think you also keep tabs on figures from yesteryear which you produce to make comparisons.
The helisking/trains to resort questions are probably about as popular with many as electric cars would be with Jeremy Clarkson.
Taking the green issues to the logical conclusion would probably mean asking people not to go abroad on holiday like other pressure groups.

Yes, it sounds like complete and utter madness doesn't it?
Don't know if you've been up to the glaciers in summer recently, but the latest ideas are firing snowguns at them and covering them with protective plastic sheets.
Tough choices lie ahead.

I take it the "crap" you so charmingly refer to does not include the factual data which has been sourced from the Club's annual reports. This included:
---------------------------------
NEW MEMBER RECRUITMENT
1992-3: 989 new members recruited by reps, in 33 resorts.
2004-5: 699 new members recruited by reps, in 44 resorts.
COST OF REPPING SERVICE
2004-5: £184,857 ('Skiing Operations' expenditure).
1992-3: £71,637.
NUMBER OF SKIERS SKIING WITH REPS
1992-3: "approx 7000" people (across 33 resorts)
2004-5: 5528 people (across 44 resorts)
---------------------------------
Instead of publishing gratuitous insults to a fellow member of your Club on a public forum, how about presenting a positive friendly image?
We're one big happy family, at the end of the day ... aren't we?

DavidS, in real life, SCGB members skiing on the slopes do seem to be a happy bunch. The SCGB section of the club forum has been acrimonious. By bringing those squabbles to snowheads DG has been bringing the club into disrepute, IMO.
