[QUOTE="Howard150, post: 4721032, member: 30002"] I have contributed to, read and reread all the threads on handling. At one time the substance of every thread was re directed to the handling issue. I have ploughed throughout England, Scotland and Wales. I have however always ploughed to the rules applied on the day as have all those European winners amongst us, including the qualifying rounds. I have ploughed for at least 20 years. Let me tell you one very pertinent fact. NOTHING has changed. Nothing at all. The winners are all still winners, a fact that revolves around their will to win. The handlers are still handlers. I speak for the scruffy classes which by and large paint a reasonable picture of results with one or two notable exceptions among the establishment figures who judge. That has always been the same. Social media does have a good side. Many newcomers and those wishing to improve have been helped on here. All this banging on about handling will not change things. I said earlier nothing has changed. The fact that it is in people’s conscience might well be a shift in mindset. On the ground nothing has changed. It has not stopped the SOP doing whatever they please, stretching and manipulating by use of proxy votes - genuine or otherwise. Nothing has changed (apart from one significant change to the filed accounts with companies house). It would appear that recently a dearth of Directors has arisen by stealth. Nothing has changed. One thing that social media has done is cause division and bad feeling. A veritable furnace stoked by an army of keyboard warriors naming and shaming - nothing good has come out of it and yes you guessed - nothing has changed. One of the good things I always took from ploughing was the vast number of genuine and good people involved. Nothing has changed. Just get on and plough. It’s still the same as ever it was. People always have had their own opinion. They always will. Nothing has changed. If you are not happy with the rules or the score sheet, then make your own - apply them as you see fit. All of you at grass roots level just take a step back. There now - nothing has changed. So nothing having changed - not even the fact that you don’t need to handle to produce a World / European beating plot. What’s the problem Harry. Might be nothing to do with handling. Could it be a simple vacuum of skill technique and funding. Free for all Aitch - ploughing for England next then? [/QUOTE]
