The DF is indeed a good idea and broadly speaking, I support their endeavours. I didn`t join for two reasons, primarily because as a circuit worker, I would have found it difficult to attend meetings in person and, I was unsure as to the meat and two veg of the DFs "remit" in relation to the IFA proper. I agree without reservation that after years and reams of words, action is needed. Perhaps the IFA would consider hosting its own online discussion forum, this would allow for a broader brush of participants taking into consideration the wide geographical scattering of much of the workers in the game.This would perhaps mitigate against the view that the IFA are not listening and further, would be an ideal way to keep the muddy masses up to date with IFA endeavours. Any constructive dialogue is good dialogue and in this day and age where websites are the primary conduit for millions, surely such a forum would be an ideal tool. By the way, a big hello to everyone on BAJR and the very best of wishes from sunny Cyprus.
