Hi my name is Paul Chidgey , I volunteered to work at the HU victoria meeting in August. I just have just come back from the Bright Adventure film festival, I really enjoyed most of it, even as a volunteer. But must say I was a bit pissed of with one person in particular. Myself and daughter did around 6-8 hours on the weekend , from Friday to Sunday, On Saturday night thier was a HU get together , I asked if I could come along, but was asked if I was a member, I did not know about membership as such, I just through it was an excellent sight to gain info on adventure travel etc. I have even brought ALL your DVD, s. ( which I told this particular person) this was held in a public venture , ( but would you show yourselves were you weren't invited) it came across to me it was a real boys club, and if your not a veteran, UNLIKE BEING A REAL VETERAN, then piss off. I will say 98 percent of the volunteers and organizaters were excellent people, but I think that some think its some clickie club , were you need to suck up to get there approval. Welll thats not me , and I dont blow my own trumpet like some.
I know it sounds like l, m having a bitch , well I am , isent what you started about sharing your experiences with others , , helping , giving advice, ( and not being stuck up)

Well I had my say and hope the person of persons involved will read this, and have a good hard look at themselves.

Regards
Paul
