Resignation.

Post by **smorison** » Mon Sep 12, 2005 10:41 am

As of the 12th September, 2005 i am resigning as president of the club. For a while now i have been struggling with conflicting requirements for my spare time, as a result i have not been able to put the time required into the club. It is important that this club continues to move forward and grow, i am no longer in a position to provide guidance on the direction nor the time required to manage it.

I will continue to sponsor this site and play some sort of role i'm sure however i'm resigning my position as President as i no longer have the time to dedicate to this club.

Sorry to hear you go bro

On behalf of other members I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for all your time & effort that you had dedicated to this club & forum through out all these years. We will never forget the time at Mallacoota, where we talk load of sh*t & drink till we fall on our faces. And all those time you had spend lots of blood & sweat with UAS to develop new performance parts for the FTO.

No doubt we all have our differences & idea of how club/forum should be, but most of those differences had been solved by one thing.

And thatâ€™s the Passion for our FTO.

Sorry to hear that Stephen. I hope you can still find some time to join us on occasions. Without you there would have been no FTO Australia and I for one am very greatful that you put the time and effort into this club.

Good luck with all your endeavours and keep in touch.
Karen

Sad to see you go... but you gotta look out for number 1 at the end of the day.

Will there be a vote for our new president??
Let the nominations begin!

Thanks for the effort you've put into helping establish the site and the club.

Let me know next time you head to Wakefield.

i'm not leaving

on the weekend our crew qualified for sailing world championships, its taken two years of practice to get this far... and there's more work to get there we will be racing in January... don't expect to win or do extrodinarily well as we're competing against olympic and other champions but its still an achievement to actually get there.

This happened in "sunny" "warm" melbourne

i'm still racing the FTO from time to time and working with UAS to build stuff (my car's finally getting the brake upgrade kit fitted this week)...

my decision is based around not wanting to see this club suffer from my other committments and its probably a decision i should have made a while ago...

Kev: thanks mate, i never took anything personally, don't worry about it.
