In what context Grock?
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

i guess its there for guidance.... subject to interpretation by the commiteee... unless you can sucessfully argue that what theyve done is unconstitutional

do you have a "hypothetical" case to air?

Wikipedia says "A constitution is a set of laws that a set of people have made and agreed upon for government—often as a written document—that enumerates and limits the powers and functions of a political entity. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is."

In my words a single big word meaning the rules of a Society. :)

They feel threatend love, that's all. They're scared of anything new that might rock their narrow little minds. Plus, they're scared of learning anything new cos then they may have to change their way of thinking. Dont sweat it sweetie. It could be quite fun :twisted:
Lots of love

Hi Grock,

My take on any Allotment Society Constition / set of rules, They are there to protect the members from the committee and likewise to protect the committee from the members, so what part of your constition do you want to question ?
