[QUOTE="Ley253, post: 4680596, member: 4681"] All good in practice, but this is real life. All too often the steward is elderly, and press ganged by the committee, or a student on day release, neither of whom are going to want to be sticking their necks out. And far too often, you get this. At yeovil last year, the stewards were having a nice cuppa and chat with the chairman.I had already mentioned the lack of any stewards on the world style plots to the sec, and she was less interested than a nearby tractor tyre! I then approached the chairman's little gathering and asked if perhaps they could walk up to our class and continue the meeting, or perhaps adjourn till after the match, and in the mean time, go and do their job! By now, all eyes were on the correct area, and the miscreants were observed carrying clods from one place to another, and using the metal plot marker to tidy up furrow joints.No less than five stewards and the chairman witnessed this, but nothing was done because "if we penalise them, they wont come next year"! Well, they may well have the favoured two (who finished first and second) but they wont have two and maybe three of the others! [/QUOTE]
