YOU ARE "S O L" GARRY

Prior to a Mini Meet at York "U" I did a few weight throws, outdoors, in windy freezing temperatures, to 14 meters. At the meet I just go over 11 M.

I lodged a complaint about the implement--barely got my hand into the handle--so heavily taped. Inside-- to make up the required weight--- was a bag of small nuts and bolts making the implement lobsided.

Response from CMAA powers that be was " We shall withdraw the implement and you will have nothing to throw !!!!!!!!

Throwers Club executives objected to that, now the powers that be will consider purchasing a new one if they can afford it !!!!!

In the Throwers Club alone,we have about twenty members, membership fee per person equals forty dollars. For the club that makes $40 times 20, or $800.00 per annum to CMAA multiply that by a number of years and tell me they cannot afford 200.00 !!!!!

WHERE GOETH THE MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!

It is encumbent upon them to supply adequate equipment and implements for their meets.

Garry.


ADDENDUM !!!!!!!!!!

Two weeks Later:-

E mail from Rudy "B" advises me that a new one has been purchased for $255.15,
Thanks to Brian Keaveny.

Shucks !!!
Now the pressure is on me to do well with it !!!!!! Bill Pearson e mailed me that I now have no excuses !!!!!!!!!!!!
