[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4681582, member: 30002"] Taking the law into your own hands is hardly the way to go. Neither is taking pictures to police what is after all the match organisers responsibility. Vote with your feet and don’t go if you feel so strongly about things. All this kind of behaviour does is to lower the standard of work. Your own plot is the only one you have influence over. Use that influence - don’t squander it on somebody else’s plot. While ever you are concerned with what others are doing, you are not concerned enough about what you are doing. Policing the job might well get people disqualified. It will not however improve your work or make you a better ploughman. Whether it will cause division within the movement is another story altogether. Unless it comes from the top you are fighting a loosing battle. What’s that you say? Surely you are not suggesting those in the higher eschelons are more adept gardeners than anybody? Are you? There is only one ethos to hold with this argument - given to me years ago by a certain ploughman of great repute who shall remain nameless. Suffice to say his name has a humorous connotation. ‘Make sure your work is so far in front of anything else that no one else’s work comes remotely near. Make sure your work is so far in front that judges are unable to do you down’ Bear that in mind and handlers become of very little consequence. [/QUOTE]
