The management committee of Leith Centre are calling an Extra Ordinary General meeting for the 2nd October, apparently to ratify changes to their constitution. Hold on a minute was this not on the agenda at the Annual General Meeting in June. Is this another case of incompetence on behalf of the management committee?
Martin Black: Very interesting article on Mr Martin Black, to much detail to be fiction and there is not doubt in my mind that the posting to be fact. As a centre member and regular user for over 12 years, it is most disturbing not to mention worrying that this can be allowed to materialise. I would like to ask what the local elected Councillors Munn and Munro are going to do about it and more to the point the spineless Management Committee in particular Ilene Davidson.
Rhona Hyslop: Just seen the latest issue of the Leither (43) Interesting article on the centre by Sandy Campbell. I would like to point out that it is actually Leith Community Centre and not the Kirkgate Community Centre. Mr Campbell refers to the 2007 AGM in which the numbers in attendance was huge. I was at this AMG and can confirm the large attendance was because Mr Campbell tried to take over the centre.
Now Mr Campbell sings the praises of the new facilities co-ordinator Rhona Hyslop. I agree that the centre has undergone a facelift, however this was only partly down to Rhona Hyslop.
Being a member and user for over 12 years, I know the retired co-ordinator Helen Hodge was the backbone of the centre for 18 years, and had most of the wheels in motion for the facelift, Rhona just picked up the pieces. Helen ran the centre for years alone when Earl Ross took his quota of sick leave. I fail to see why Rhona can get all the credit when the truth is, Helen done all the hard graft. Rhona is not there to run the place; one would assume that the management committee are in charge of the centre affairs and not some upstart who has only been in the job for a few months.
