I am not jumping in for the doc here but my thoughts would be that once
people start asking (demanding? sometimes) you to do things, then the fun
goes out of the hobby very quickly. You should know this after all you are
(have been) associated with clubs and committees for a while now. I believe
you have even alluded to it yourself...
Why ask the question below if you know the answer, especially in a public
forum. As you said it was said in jest, we're all humans leave it at that...
Instead start thinking about how you want ANGFA to grow in the future. There
will be a few vacancies on the national executive next year.

Bruce, can you expand on this for me? I know it was said in jest, but
there are those that may find the inference that regional groups are
responsible for the "whole show" going "to the dogs" somewhat offensive.
I know you guys do a lot of work, a hell of a lot of work, but there are a
lot of people out in "regional group" land that have too, not myself
personally because my own basic laziness is a matter of record, but a lot
of people.
Best regards, Andrew Boyd
