Last Fridays MYA's news feed was congratulating the Treasurers son for leading the Fleetwood DF series. This appeared very ironic as my son has been patiently waiting to join, hear from the MYA for the past 7 weeks! Our Club Treasurer sent off his membership details and monies on the 25th April and has recently written a letter wanting an explanation for the prolonged delay. We have unofficially heard that he is on a register.

This is not exactly a great start to this sport for my son and doesn't help to encourage participation which is one of the main goals of the association.

My son is and has been a MYA junior member since the end of April.

Following the above post I have had a long and very positive telephone discussion with the MYA's Chairman. Perhaps it wasn't very prudent of me to post the above message, perhaps I should have contacted the relevant parties beforehand and perhaps most importantly we shouldn't trust Royal Mail!
