Matt I won't pm you as I would want to express my thoughts on this publicly. I understand where you are coming from and as a CCer I would like to think someone on the council was looking after my interests. I am against the idea of any council member representing any single body be it CCers, CMers, IWA, NABO etc. My preferred candidate would be one that represents the interests of all boaters and understands what CCing is all about. Having said all that I think you should stand as the more people that stand the better, but would rather you stand on the bases of all boaters than CCers. You have a great knowledge of the system, you understand boats and you see on a daily basis the problems faced by all boaters.
Edited to say that at present both alan and dave tick all my boxes.
