06/10/06. Because of my ongoing frustration with PNZ and WPA deliberately stonewalling my polite requests for information, I have set up a special page to document instances of stonewalling. taken from this PAGE

As for emails and letters, I have not had much luck with these. I have send many emails including two submissions (27 & 28 August 2005 PNZ meeting) to PNZ. I have never received any answers, acknowledgement or anything about these two submissions!. (see also this unbelievable page).

 

update 22/09/06: Have made request for Players list on 19/09/06:

"Hi Brian,

Could you please email the players list of the WPA Regional Singles Championship to me.

Many thanks.

Tom van Bodegraven." I have never received any answers, acknowledgement or anything about this polite request.

 

update 24/09/06:

Received this email message on Friday September 22nd at 21:48 hours:

 

"Just finished entries and draw etc. Attached list of entries.

Brian."

 

At this late hour this is completely useless!

 

Update 04/10/06:

On 03/10 I made a request for a players list:

"Hi Brian,

Could you please email the players list of the Nat Singles when you have a moment.

Many thanks,

Tom van Bodegraven"

Again no reply. Brian has however placed the list on the PNZ website, but did not inform me about this. Classic stonewalling!

22/11 With regards to the JC competition, I have emailed the WPA executive (this includes Brian Smith) five times with these questions:

 

1) Who were the executive members present when the ruling was made about the Jacques Cochonnet Petanque Cup:

 

"Therefore the executive has decided to put all matches on hold until a meeting can be held to review the current rules which have become 'fudged' over time. It is likely the meeting will be held early next year."

 

2) On what date took this meeting place.

 

3) Under which section of the WPA constitution can the WPA executive make this ruling.

 

4) Do you think that not consulting with the clubs involved (Masterton and Khandallah) was proper conduct on behalf of WPA.

 

The WPA executive has so far ignored these requests for information. -Tom.

Update 27/11/06: It is hard to believe that Fay and the Khandallah/WPA people object to me publishing a general (not private) email which was sent out to all clubs in the Wellington region. WPA, Khandallah and Fay are now conveniently using this as a feeble excuse for not answering the questions I and Graeme B have asked in numerous emails to them. Going underground when things get difficult is a sign of guilt and only serves to make matters worse. Just to put things into perspective: here we have Nicky Hager stealing emails from the leader of the opposition and publishing these in a book without any problems! Can we all see the absurdity of the logic employed: objecting to me publishing Fay's email which was meant for general publication anyway. -Tom.

 

During June, 2006 the Masterton Petanque Club link was removed from the PNZ website! This vindictive act by PNZ was loudly condemned by members nationwide.
