So thats how you want to play this? Yes a proposal will be made, but surely we as members put these ideas forward and our committee work out what costs etc can be made. I dont have the books to see what finances the Fed have or can afford. We as members are trying to find ways to keep our Fed alive and pass our thoughts onto the committee. Surely only once its been established that a joint convoy is possible would the "relevant information" be discussed between the two committees and then the proposals brought to the members???? It appears that the committee were all for working out costs etc when you approached Almond Valley so why not for this?
