[Sundae]

I can hear the Board from where I'm sitting (Good News Bad News thread for more details). The downside of not being there is they can misrepresent things.

YES I DID minute that X was going to join the Board - check the Appendix
(actually they just have while I was typing that)
BUT IT WASN'T given as an action point and NO-ONE said I should be contacting X to attend this meeting.

Grrrrr. They've spent about 5 minutes bemoaning the fact that X isn't at this meeting, and why not and was he contacted and why not and blah blah blah.

I actually do a good job here (Cellar visits notwithstanding) and it's annoying when people try to suggest it's me that's let something slip.
I have no contact details for the man, nor was I given any.
It was not minuted as an action point because no-one brought it up as such - it was minuted exactly as it was discussed - as information only - "X will be attending the next Board Meeting."

Sorry, very petty. I just don't like it when people pass the buck.

ETA In fact rereading this it is incredibly petty. I must remember not everything is meant as a personal criticism!
