Grumpy Volunteer Corner

by Keith Evans

Thanks to Debs & Kay, the 'drop in' sessions were useful & sometimes hilarious. The few visitors who were in at that time of the morning thought they'd taken a wrong turning and finished up in a psychiatric rehab clinic. I'm sure I was the only sane one present. My psychiatrist will confirm that. I think!


The crabbing briefing by Olly and Emily brought us up to date. The Crab Union has welcomed the reduced time for each session but are concerned that the bait is now in little perforated bags so the crab members can't get at it. The excuse given is that it prevents the mullet scavenging the bait and swimming off with it. The Crab Union consider this to be a lame excuse and the real reason is that it is a sinister ploy to reduce the baiting budget. Further meaningful negotations are requested in order to claw back this perk.
