Mr Newby seens to be telling everyone that the list is only two names long! (and
as I thought, just sending a stock reply - the words are almost exactly the
same as I received).
One way to prove to him (and maybe used as a fact at the AGM) would be to
generate
an 'E-petition' on the club site
We each log in, and simply leave our name, PFA membership number and a few words
simply stating that we don't wish a magazine that is supposed to be published
for the enjoyment of its members to use KWs pictures in the future.
I've no idea how to set this E-petition up but I'm sure that one or some of the
computer whizzos who operate the club site could do so quite quickly
