Well Kopia I do find your prepondency to take threads off into the Political ether of Red vs Blue a bit annoying. ?

Honesty is right up there Hesi. I informed the poster and subsequently the target of the "digging" that at no stage have you ever had access to the personal information on BOAY. Also that the only personal information that was kept was the signup email address and the IP addresses from which the member accessed the site. However the individual concerned did have legitimate concerns that there was some "burrowing" going on albeit in channels outside of BOAY. Much the same as has happened to Thomaas.

Well it won't be coming from any of the clubs that they are closing down unless this Government swings even more to the red left and does land grabs.

Well The Informant said the Venue Plan has been "released" but I can't find it on their website.

Due to what I call totally unwarranted pressure from a few individuals (one in particular) I have reluctantly agreed to have a Poll regarding the future of Thomass on Boay. The outcome of the poll will NOT be binding - I will make the final decision. I guess this is how those far left socialists operate. At least we are operating in a virtual world and subject of this poll will not be subjected to anything more harmful that a public display of who likes and dislikes him. Thanks Thomass for agreeing to this poll.

I have got to a decision point regarding the future of BOAY. My tolerance for managing the sniping and bickering has got to a very low point. I consider it unsavoury that what I believe is a minority are seeking to enforce their rule of law on the site.

NZTR RELEASES VENUE PLAN Posted by The Informant | Jan 29, 2019 | Gallops Unsustainable costs for owners, participants and the wider racing industry have encouraged New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing (NZTR) to investigate a better network of racecourses across the country. After a lengthy analysis, NZTR is now consulting with the industry following the release of its venue plan today. The plan proposes a reduction to 27 venues in total across the country by 2030. This Future Venue Plan is not as a result of any Government processes underway. NZTR will be considering the outcomes of any advice of the Ministerial Advisory Committee and any decisions from the Government as consultation is progressed. “While NZTR agrees with the Messara Report that a reduction of venues is required, having already undertaken substantial work in this area over some years we have a view of how this could look,” NZTR CEO Bernard Saundry said. “Despite the best intentions of committed and passionate volunteers, many of New Zealand’s racing venues are in urgent need of major development,” he said. “Spending is required to bring infrastructure up to standard and to meet Health & Safety obligations. An upgrading of venues will also improve the punter experience by providing better and more consistent track surfaces.” The consultation document initially proposes that 10 venues are not allocated licences in the 2019/20 racing season. This includes Dargaville, Thames and Wyndham, who are racing at other venues in the current racing season. The other affected venues are Wairoa, Stratford, Blenheim, Reefton, Hokitika, Waimate and Winton. NZTR anticipates that those clubs which lose their traditional venues will continue to race at an alternative track. “A key commitment of the proposed NZTR Venue Plan is that all clubs in New Zealand will have an approved and appropriate venue at which to race. We see a future for every club,” Saundry said. Craig McNeill, who was the past president of the Feilding Jockey Club in 1999 when it sold its property and relocated racing to Awapuni, believes clubs should embrace the opportunity for change. “What a lot of people do not realise is that moving made us stronger not weaker,” McNeill said. “We are focused on the community and sponsors like never before and that sees increased investment and attendance at our meetings.” It is a view which is supported by Beaumont Racing Club president Phil Williams, whose club has been racing at Wingatui for 25 years. “While the locals were disappointed when the move was mooted our sponsors stuck with us, some are with us to this day,” he said. “Now we are very financially sound, we have no course maintenance costs and just have to concentrate on sponsors and entertainment. If we hadn’t moved, we would be gone without a doubt.” NZTR will conduct meetings with stakeholders over the coming weeks with 19 March the deadline for feedback. “Everything in the Venue Plan is up for debate and we want feedback to ensure the best possible result for the future of our industry,” Saundry said.

Well if they unbanned folk they'd have more posters. Sorry I'm not a "people's person"!

Maybe he is at the sales. He seems to be a trainspotter when it comes to thoroughbreds.

Only one person banned on BOAY and it isn't Thomaas.

Both the catalogue and the hand might be too heavy.

Hesi you obviously didn't read my post. I said one more post off topic and the thread is closed. As for your observations I'm not interested. What happened in this thread if anyone bothers to read it in its entirety is one person misinterpreted one innocuous topic and bit. Then someone else threw their toys and so on. Further I'm not going to read every post nor take the high ground hypocritically nor can I preempt any post. BTW what's the latest on Marcoola?

Is anyone going to get back on subject e.g. Marcoola? Or shall I close the thread?

Guys can we ALL chill a bit. Must be the back to work blues looking at the very red credit card and the dry TAB account. Don't worry some of you will be getting a stationary bill from school and a new laptop for the pride and joy is mandatory.

Thanks. Should have guessed. I hope he has pre-sold all his syndicates.
