Hi Hugh
Thanks for list. I presumed I had seen it on the Friends site but could not find. Nothing sinister implied. I thought perhaps some clubs may not want their material copied far and wide and possibly into commercial publications and hence publicity of Clubs may have been reduced .When contributing to blogsites it is difficult to choose words which cannot possibly be construed different than intended.
Hi Ian
Clubs are faced with quandaries. The VAR has to avoid being swamped by Seven stuff. And few are much interested in the technical (In my very long experience in another Club, unless working on the particular topic at the time, most readers forget it. Often not easy to remember even as writer!). If tech stuff is encouraged get bum steers and conjecture from all and sundry. On this site such is quickly scotched, but in a mag lingers for months and forever. So many Clubs stick to whether or not the scones were hot on the last club run.
(For the local Jowett mag, for decades I used to tediously summarise the tech content of all the overseas clubs. I used to joke that the technically interested should join just our Club, have access to all the real stuff worldwide, and avoid reading about scones!)
