Agree with Theno here,its clear where the conflict could arise.
At work any shop floor union meeting sees the exclusion of any supervisory staff who through their meetings with management could be seen as 'eavesdropping' by their very presence.
Sorry if the comparison appears harsh but there is a similar parallel with any member of the FF trying to attend a BRISA meeting imho.As Glenn has quite clearly stated FF members are instructed by the club to keep information they are privy to at their meetings private? from the rest of us!,this would merely cause suspicion within the ranks of BRISA members, are these people 'eavesdropping' on behalf of John Williams?who knows?.....duel membership would NOT be acceptable nor helpful in my personal view.
For BRISA to be totally INDEPENDENT of the club,FF members should be asked to make a straight choice between membership of only one of the organisations.I would personally ask the present committee to make quite clear their stance on this point.
Apologies if this post seems unhelpful to the cause but direct questions must be asked regarding an area that seems very clouded.
