ACU&S Website

Having just tried to access the ACU&S website, I find a notice directing people to the ECB Association of Cricket Officials website.

I note that there appears to be no Messsageboard facility on the ECB ACO website. I wonder why?

Was equally surprised to find ACU&S website and 'message board' closed down without any advanced notice of intent given.

Would appear some action afoot to challenge the EBGC's unconstitutional attempt to bring about dissolution of the Association and its handing of all remaining funds to the ECB ACO.

I understand Geoff Lowden and Steven Wood are making these decision, alone, and dislike any form of challenge to what they say. Could it be that they consider some of the comments and referrals posted on the 'message board' might gain support of ex-rank and file members and therefore, best to shut down the site before that happens - i.e. cut off their source of communication!

Hopefully, ex-members of ACU&S will use this message board to express their views and feelings. It might help to ensure that when the final curtain falls, it is with some level of dignity shown towards its past loyal members and appropriate 'goodwill' gestures made to the local associations that have supported ACU&S through its difficult times; unlike the ECB, whose 'bully-boy' tactics and actions have helped create the present situation and yet, it is they who will be the main beneficiary. They must be laughing all the way to their Bank!

Time for bed - goodnight!

Could be - but as the old ACUS board was provided independently it can still be accessed by going to
