Part 307. Patience wearing thin

Below is the text of an email I sent to the United Kingdom & Ireland Territory HQ concerning progress towards publication of the Membership Working Group's report and the timetable to action recommendations.

I am an Adherent at Royal Tunbridge Wells Corps. I have been following with keen interest the progress of the Membership Working Group, having completed the survey online and read about the conference at Warwick University.

Do you have a timetable for presentation of your report to Cabinet? Will the report be a public document or have a limited circulation within TSA. The loss of officers, poor cadet numbers, closure of Corps and increasing numbers of unofficered Corps are major concerns and inaction or dawdling on publishing and actioning the report will only make matters worse.

Those of us who would like to see TSA become far more inclusive in its policies concerning criteria for officership also are looking for a timetable for resolution of the issues.
Yours sincerely 
John Hopkinson. 

Below is the prompt response I received.


Thank you John, for your email and ongoing interest, the work is significant to us all for many of the reasons you articulate. The report goes to cabinet for first reading at the end of August. I cannot at this stage give you an exact timeline for any publication of the findings as this is dependent on the cabinet discussion. Please note that this will have to go to IHQ as well after it has been at Cabinet.

We will be in touch and will keep the territory informed.
