not now be a member of.

Dear Mr XXXXX
Your recent refusal to contact the acting secretary by phone regarding
several emails and internet posts, was brought to the attention of the
Committee at their most recent meeting.
After viewing several examples the Committee has decided to suspend
your membership until further notice, any application for the 2010
season will be refused.
The Committee believe that you have been given ample opportunity to
make direct contact in order to explain your behaviour, but you have
chosen to decline the offer.
With this in mind the committee do not feel that any further
opportunity should be extended.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr
Chairman on 078********
Regards
Mr Bloggs
Acting Secretary of the Association

This letter merely informs me that a meeting (that I wasn't
invited to) discussed my "refusal" to phone the Acting Secretary.
At no point was I instructed by ANYONE to call the Acting Secretary,
so I do not see how refusing to do what I wasn't instructed to do
could be grounds for suspension.
Additionally, at no time have I been asked to "explain my behaviour".
The letter does not tell me what authority they have to suspend my
membership.
The letter does not tell me anything about a refund of my fees.
The letter does not tell me who the members of this committee are.
The letter does not tell me about any route to appeal the decision.
The letter does not have a return address.
The letter, quite frankly, is an abomination and typical of the
secrecy that is rotting the club from the top down.
Have I really been suspended??????
Thanks
Why would you want to belong to a club that would have someone like you as a
member?
Steve
Yeah, but now that he's been suspended, its exactly his type of club!
