Why get insurance when you can just beg everyone else for the hospital bills and the repatriation if needed?

What happens if there's some money left over if such a hypothetical occurrence ever arose?

[Deleted User]

Am hearing that a number of Jacklin sponsored players had booked for this. What a surprise and also a disgrace.

As I predicted yesterday.

[Deleted User]

If that’s it then once again 9 women what a joke

Oh! Is Paula and entrant in the event that was just bailed out by BDO members money?

9 entries. I hope they get equal prize money.

Seriously I just dont get it. If you had asked members Sunday to vote on should we financially interfere (with members money dont forget) with this event I doubt if would have seen a single vote....

[London Eye]

How can Jacklin be allowed to get away with this? An EGM should be called straight away, it is gross misconduct.

How is it?

Because off his own back he has bailed out a financially unviable competition in another country using British County Members money for the sole reason that his wife and Jacklin sponsored players had booked hotels and flights. Do you think for one second that if the Jacklin party had not entered, booked flights and hotels it would still be taking place?

On a side note the skirting around this on Fanatics by Tommy Thompson and Paul James is laughable, what a pair of Jacklin lapdogs they have become. Fair play to Howard Miller, he has not sold out!

[BlueSpark]

The calamities continue unabated.
Well done Des, we knew you could do it.

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

So this BDO money has been used to prop up a foreign event just so Paula can pick up some much needed points?
But I thought Chizzy's manager was the one up for election who had a massive conflict of interest, not Des.
I'm confused.

The BDO made an exception to bail out this one tournament that the newly elected chairmans wife is playing in. Does not look good at all.

How do you know he did it off his own back? As the guy from Spain said Sue answered the phone so give him benefit of doubt they decided with each other.

Can anyone produce proof that finance was given?

New BDO chairman wasted money to bail out a tournament that nobody is going to so his wife can get points & try to make it to lakeside

Can you imagine a BDO where every decision is made by Des and Sue playing rock paper scissors?
The carnage would be like nothing we've seen before.

How many board members are there?

[Ginge]

How many board members are there?

More than two, surely?

[The Jolly Man]

How many board members are there?

More than two, surely?

Before Sunday there were 4? Des, Sue, Wayne and the guy who administers the rankings?

Wayne isn’t on any more so 3?

That’s why I kept asking who is on the board, no one came up with an answer.

[Buzz Fledderjohn]

Has Des not filled all the new board positions he was going to create yet?

Not that it matters for this discussion, as I don't recall a new Executive Director of Bailing Out Unfeasible Foreign Jollies being mentioned in his manifesto.

There were the two "quiet" ones, think only one of those has stepped down. John Weller and another one.

So that makes at least 3.

So if you assume that they contacted no one else and Sue and Des agreed they hold 50% of the vote which includes the chair so they could do this?

What makes you think that this isn't what's happening?

And you think its an acceptable use of dwindling funds?
