Volunteer Community Officer

[communitytrust]

We are the Albion Rovers Community Trust.   We are a registered charity and THE community wing of the football club. Football can be a force for good in reducing poverty and social isolation, improving self-esteem and promoting equality and diversity.   We currently have a small number of activities which are run by volunteers.  We wish to expand the range and scope of these and are therefore seeking additional volunteer support.
If you would be interested in a 8 hour Volunteer Community Officer

This reminds me - what happened about this cowboy outfit?

arfc.proboards.com/thread/1453/caldwell-new-company

Its details are still on Companies House.

I hope the club is taking steps to force it to stop stealing our name.

So, Grant - no comment from you on the fact that some outfit is/was trying to steal the Rovers name. A bit strange for someone who purports to be so keen on businesses conducting themselves properly.

[Roy of the Rovers]

From your linked webpage Grant:

Documents being processed
This charity failed to provide information on its finances within 9 months of its Financial year end date. The charity submitted documents after their due date and they are currently being processed by OSCR.

Grant, I told you a couple of weeks ago why the A/Cs hadn't yet been submitted. Since then, our accountant has confirmed that her IT problems have been resolved and that the outstanding accounts would be submitted in the very near future. Not sure what you expect Rab, who has no involvement with the Albion Rovers Community Trust, to say about it. Bill W.

So, Rab, no comment from you that a charity in Rovers name is failing to live up to its legal obligations.

So, not only will you not comment on the substance of the matter I raised, you go on to make a clearly false statement.

When you're in a hole Grant, stop digging.

Or maybe just be prepared to admit what the rest of us know - that it is disgraceful for another company to attempt to appropriate the Albion Rovers name without the club's permission.

I hope the club will not let this lie and will take action.

It's a poor post by Rab. Isabelle is trying to reinvigorate the Community Trust and rightly so. The focus should be on how we can all give some time and skills to enable the Community trust to be a roaring success.

Unlike your posts on the 'Caldwell New Company' thread in defence of it, which are abysmal.

Quite happy for Roy to move this discussion to a different thread so we can separate the two issues (the real Rovers Community Trust and the cowboy outfit).

I will plead guilty to the heinous crime of not starting a new thread on the matter.

But 'inappropriate and wrong' to ask a question about an organisation attempting to appropriate the club's name - its identity, its brand, its asset? I don't think so! It is that which could damage the club way more than a discussion on a fans' messageboard.

It's odd that 'posting in the wrong thread' is considered more worthy of comment and criticism than the subject matter being raised - i.e. of a wrong being done to the club. Perhaps you should think about what is really the more serious matter.

The webmaster can easily put all but the original post of this thread into a new thread if he thinks it appropriate.

This could go on forever but clearly you are right and everyone else is wrong. You stand by your comments. I stand by mine. This should not have been raised here in this thread but elsewhere. That is why I and Grant for that matter agreed to delete our posts from here. Shame you cant see the point I'm making. Whether that is more or less important than the topic is irrelevant. A wrong is still a wrong.

[rab]

Oh dear - reigniting things when it could have ended. Hope you don't feel compelled to delete this latest post too!

It is of the utmost triviality whether a comment should have been in one thread or another and you seem to have no perspective not to realise this. It's the substance of the comment that counts.

I presume you have also had a go at cliftonbill too, for having the temerity to be a Community Trust person who liked one of my posts, and Jaydee for liking a few of them (and fired off lots of private messages to them).

[Deleted]

Think it is you who are keeping this going. If I have no perspective then you have no humility. You cannot see beyond your own arrogance and apparantly I have to leave it and not respond to your comments about my post. I have to just shut up and go away because you say so? Like h*ll. At any point do you get what I am saying or are you so caught up in your own self-importance that you you cant see beyond the end of your nose?

[rab]

I hadn't put any new posts on this for 2 days (only edits to explain that my comments related to posts now deleted). I'd moved on to other things. You were riled by the edits and kicked it off again.

I do get your point that you think the post should have been in a different thread. Fair enough, but I disagree. I think it was entirely appropriate to have raised that question (which I presume you don't disagree with) and to have raised it where I did (which you clearly do disagree with).

But even if you are right and it was 'wrong' of me to post in this thread instead of starting a new one, it really is of no great importance. It's so trivial as to be irrelevant - like whether you should have had cornflakes for breakfast this morning instead of porridge.

Anyway - you can have the last word.
