[Merv and Sharon]

This has been a long and difficult thread. I originally raised the issue of the role of State Presidents, not Rebel 1. Their role is, as in other social, sporting or professional organisations, a large and continually demanding one. However, the issue of establishing a national organisation or a group who are willing to develop the Cobra Club (or a new Group as Craig outlines) into a self-regulating body, possibly around a 'replica' category (Baz), is one that needs to be part of a real agenda, not pushed around this forum from time to time.

The level of personal abuse that has arisen here is not necessary or accurate. I am happy to take what ever comes my way, but in some defence of Rebel 1, I can say that during my build I received countless, emails, posts, PMs and phone calls from him with great technical and other support. I am sure others could relate similar experiences.

I also have a busy job and a full life and there will be no more comment from this quarter for a while, as like others, I hope to see this issue move forward in some constructive way.
