I don't think I am speaking out of turn, in saying that a group of us raised this issue with RHP in a meeting (convened to deal with other matters) on 23 December. It was quite clear from the responses that the club was not in a posiution to take sponsorship/donations/whatever of this nature at this time. Even when we pointed out there was at least £800 just waiting to be collected and paid over, with very little required in return and virtually no work required from the club.
What was made public the following day may have had a lot to do with it (we certainly suspected as much), but that can only be conjecture. I think what came across was no lack of appreciation or gratitude - indeed, far from it - but that there were probably other things going on that needed to be dealt with first. As indeed it would appear to have transpired.
So I suspect you have probably concluded rightly, Duckman. It is to be hoped that we are talking "temporary" as opposed to "indefinite" hold, but I guess that is waiting on developments.
