He's created a new ID "Rod Chinn." so I've editted that to "Rod Chinn (MAD)". The defection is probably documented on the Faceborgs website.
Thank you for the interest chaps but there’s no drama or big story to tell;
It was purely for reasons of wanting to improve my performances as I think I’ll benefit from being with a small competitive group.
Since I moved into the 60-69 Lwt category nearly 2 years ago (I’m 62 in September) I’ve become a lot more competitive having set some records and won a few medals plus I’ve actually got faster in many events than I was as a younger and Hwt erger so keen to progress from here and taken on training with top coach Eddie Fletcher.
I’d found I was less able to contribute where I was for quite a while now as my own needs were taking precedence and was having less in common with the majority of the members than I had in the past so felt a move would be best for me as I head towards the world championships next February in Paris.
I’m also good friends with the MAD President Phil (‘’Sir Pirate’’) Morris as he lives about a 30 minute drive from me and we train together sometimes plus Eddie is in MAD.
I’ve left on good terms and all parties have wished each other well so all amicable and everything done properly.
Citroen, thank you for doing what I’m sure you thought was a help but I don’t like the look of it at all and was perfectly happy with the previous ‘dot’’ after my name to identify the new account so can I ask you to change it back to Rod Chinn. pretty pleeeze?
If you could delete my other accounts (Rod Chinn, Rod Chinn Lwt and Rod.Chinn) as well that would be great as I’m not going to be using them again.
