Burnley - In need of some work 22-Feb-2008 At 3:57:16 PM raven

I was at the meeting last night and it was rather a disappointing, and somewhat tense affair. It started off on the wrong foot when VCC President Tony basically said that nothing is going to change at the wall. This was the opening gambit. A few people made suggestions but these were not favourable met or even contemplated in some cases. Myself and many others went down to the wall thinking an open discussion would take place on the future direction of the wall but I don't think this was the VCC's intention. It seemed to me that their intention of the meeting was to 'quieten' the chockstone talk about a reset, and to canvas for more committee members. Now, I understand an organisation like the VCC needs new members but it was said repeatedly by Tony that the only way to get any changes to the VCC burnley policy was to join the VCC and get on the committee. I am not sure this is the only way. As a regular user of the wall I am really appreciative of the work Michaelangelo and his team does down at the wall but I do feel changes to the wall can be made, otherwise it will have decreasing value as a facility. On a personal note, the VCC may have designed it as a 'crag' but it is a wall and most people treat it as such. A reset of the problems once every few years is not a big ask especially when volunteers are available and money (donations etc) could be acquired.
