Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

Will understanding why Ms. Campbell did a 180 really matter? I think it does matter. Maybe not from a legal point of view, but - first - understanding this might give everyone else a clue what's the real problem of the Ruskin side is and - second - I doubt any operation of K7 makes sense without th...

Re: Bute / Coniston Back to Back

In a perfect world this sounds like a really good plan. Problem is, there are some circumstances, circumstances which I don't know and thus don't understand, which prohibit the museum side to also think the above is a good plan. As long as these circumstances are unclear, I have doubts you will rece...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin

This is not what I had in mind converning 'mediation'. I had though about a respected person who would so this on a voluntary basis, just in the interest of the importance of K7 to the motor sport history. Someone who can figure out, by talking to both sides, what each side has in mind and what's bl...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin

Sure, by reading here I can only listen to one side of the story and by meeting you guys on Bute I might also be a little biased towards the BBP as well, but really trying to be neutral I have very little understanding for what's going on the other side. And whenever people post here from that side,...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin

'We might allow you but it's all subject to what our committee decides'. When I hear people saying such things then my alarm bell rings. "Oh, I personally would like this, but a higher force doesn't let me do it - I'm so sorry..." They are trying to hide behind a "higher force" ...

Re: Coniston Bye laws/Ruskin

A few days ago I had time to watch the video from Jan. 4th for the first time. Somehow things turned south since the Team trails on Bute in August 2018. Maybe I got some things wrong, but from Gina Campbell's speach I found 2 key points remarkable: 1. She claimed that BBP was offered a 3 month/year ...

Re: LOST!! Hep Me!! Hep Me!!

And if they contributed on the basis of a very clear statement that the object was to return the boat to Coniston, as existed on the home page of this website until recently, and which still exists on the 'donate' page (presumably Billy has failed to spot and try to re-write history on that bit, ye...

Re: LOST!! Hep Me!! Hep Me!!

This is all extremely disappointed for everyone around the globe who loves that blue boat and would love to see it do for what it was made for - skimming across the water. Sam, whoever you are and what your connections to the Campbell family may be, belittling other people, expecially when they have...
