Please accept our most humble apologies for missing last night's AGM!!  I have just been reminded by that smug Mrs Shepard that we forgot to go!!  Two genuine reasons for forgetting - I have pulled a muscle in my back and have been doing very little for two weeks so the thought of going anywhere was the last thing on our minds.  Secondly, my eldest son is at a ceremonny down in London today to receive his membership into the Royal College of Anaesthestists and  we were hoping to be able to go.  It's his 5th Cap and Gown event now, and the first one we cannot attend, because there weren't enough tickets for us all to go.  So, we didn't put the AGM date on the calendar in the hope that we just might have been able to travel down at the last minute, last night.  We would, of course, have then sent our apologies!!

Ok....what did I miss?????  A word for word account please!

Love

Rhoma xx

Thank you all for your kind emails.I think its about time Merseycats
stood up to these no marks and put people straight about just what
exactly people take when they are trying to the place good.I joined
Merseycats to raise money for sick kids and to meet new people.Also to
socialize with new people,Not to take crap from people who think they
are the bees knees.Best part about it is.If you hated something so bad
why would you keep bringing it up and then try to join it again.???

Is it just me ???

Gee Andy

What were you thinking of, making such a huge mistake as that, on the Merseycats website??  You could be hung for less!!  Teeheeee.

I think you are now getting a small idea of what it's been like in the past, not just for the present committee, but when Derek and I were on the Committee too.

Keep your chins up.

Love

I recently updated the Merseycats myspace page with a little error on
my behalf.It read like this.

Merseycats are holding a benefit night for Brian ( SAX ) Jones.

It should have read

Wally Shepard and musicains are holding a benefit night ect.

The reason for my error is that i was trying to do 2 things at
once.Update the cheynoble gig and Brians at the same time.

Cheynoble gig IS Merseycats/Brians is NOT.

To my dispare 16 mins after it going " On air " I recieved a couple of
emails.These below are the emails in question

First from an ex member Arty Davies
Has Merseycats changed their constitution, because a show for Brian by
the merseycats is against The constitution.

thats what they said when members wanted a show for me to raise money
for a sports wheelchair because mine had broke,, and also members
wante to help Bob Wooler who was in hospital.

the rules said they couldn't because it wasn't for kids. I hope they
have changed the rules.

Plus if they had done that years ago There wouldnt have been a need
for Sounds of the 60s (Liverpool R Society) because that was formed to
do things The Merseycats couldn't.

After Kingsize Taylor arranged a show to raise the money for my
basketball chair so i could carry on in the sport.

Andy don't get me wrong I am not against doing a show for Brian who is
one of my good friends. and hope to get a ticket to support Brian. I
just feel sad that if this had been done years ago the stupid wars
against Sounds of the 60s etc would have been avoided, and there would
never have been a split

Second Carol.Ex member.

Instead of emailing the author ( ME ) she never,She decided to go "
Public "

I MIGHT BE MISTAKING BUT HOW COME MERSEYCATS ARE ORGANISING A BENEFIT
NIGHT FOR AN ADULT WHEN IT IS AGAINST THERE CONSTITUATION .........
HAS THERE BEEN A CHANGE IN THE RULES    ???????????????caz

Thirdly Denis Malkin Ex Member

Again without consulting myself ( The Author )he decided like the rest
to " Go public "

Don't you know the Sh*tty Committee change the law to suite themselves?

EG. 20 signatures for an EGM instead if the usual 6.Even if you do get
20 signatures, they still don't grant you an EGM, they give you half
an hour at the end of the AGM.

Can't think what they were afraid of.


I hope you all get to read this email.It is only a slice of what this
years and past committee has had to put up with,.

I ask you all a question ?.If you could not stand such a place why oh
why would you hang on to every last word we say.You are faster than
light to reply to our emails/blogs.Do we bother you at all ( NO ).

APG08.

We really did intend to get there last night, but with one thing and another we didn't make it.  Nic couldn't come either, and we do like to go if Nic can go too.  Glad the evening was a good one.  We really will try to get there next week!

Just wanted to say to everyone concerned that last night was superb! Plenty
of variety and brilliant performances from everybody who took part.

Mi Amigo Paul was caught out a couple of times weren't you mate? Get them
next time!

I liked the interactivity with the audience, especially when Searchin' let
our photographer up to sing with them. I think his name was Andy? Anyway,
photos are great but don’t look for a career in singing! What? Oops, you are
the singer??????? Only kidding mate, really enjoyed the Searchers' numbers
in particular, and you managed to get round to take the photos as well. Keep
up the good work.

Great finale too with the Shakers who are incredible performers and finished
off a great night's entertainment.

Well done to everybody, as we managed to raise over £1,000 too.

We were very sad to hear the news of the death of Roag's father, Neil Aspinall.  Our thoughts go out to the family.

Hi everyone.I would say members but as we all know NON members can
also read this.
I recently started up a Myspace account on behalf of Merseycats
childrens charity the other week and i would like to announce that it
is doing better than ever imagined.People from near and far are
contacting us.To date as a result from Myspace we have 2 new members 2
visiting bands coming over and over 400 emails saying how well " We "
are all doing and that they wished they had some sort of thing near
them.Now if i may remind you all this site has only been up and
running for less than 3 weeks and already we have had just over 3000
visitors to our page.Not only that we have an active link from Myspace
to our official site run by Dave Bedford.I have recieved on behalf of
Merseycats some really great stories about what Merseycats have done
for the children of Merseyside who are now adults.I can tell you all
it is a rewarding job for me to be reading these fantastic messages
first hand.There is even a story ( To which i have posted on here )
About a guy Martyn whom met his wife on the Royal Iris gig that
Merseycats held.If anyone ( Members ) Would like anything inputting on
the site please let me know as I need as much info as pos to keep it
updated,Also if you would email our friend Davi` Bedford also.That way
we have all angles covered.Thanks for reading my novel.If Rhoma or
Derek should read this I apologise for my spelling and grammer hahahaha.

I will message this forum regular to inform you all about emails that
i have recieved and any letters to keep you all informed,After all
with out all our members and supporters where would we be,

Erm let me think a place with NO supporters NO members nor audience
ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. errrmmmmmmmmmmmmmm If i say this posting will be
deleted,We ALL now where lol hahahaha.

Who do I think I am ( Paul Bohan ) nahhh hes to old lol hahaha

Adios amigos ( aaaarghhhhhhhhh im him lol )

Sorry all for my 2 postings,Wanted to change the title but my comp froze,

Again Rhoma sorry for the grammer ahaha
