Just a quick note and explaination for my lack of presence in the last 1 to 2 years. I have had some major issues with my fathers health and moving him in and out of hospitals and nursing homes and trying to work 6 days a week. Let me tell you it has been a very rough ride and the end result wasn't what we wanted but it is for the best. We tried and tried to keep my father from passing on but he won at the end as he really didn't want to continue on but he is in a better place now. In doing all of this I have realised tha I need to look after my family and myself better and to regain a life that has been left in limbo for a couple years. So my final decision is to stand down as the WA Rep for MEAWA and pass on my knowledge to the management committee and to be there when they need some advice. I have enjoyed my stay here over the last 7 to 8 years and look forward to MEA and MEAWA working together to re-gain those glory days!

Cheers,
Dav

Dav, I have passed on my best wishes and thanks to you many times, I just wanted to publically say thank you for all that you have achieved and despite what the unfavorable circumstances you still managed to find time for MEA. So thank you for a final time, and you know you are always welcome here.

It's time to rebuild MEAWA, and we have a loose plan in mind to start from scratch once more but implement some of the things we've learned from other states. We'll spend the rest of this year sorting some things out and hopefully relaunch MEAWA in 2012.

Cheers Dav - and good luck and best wishes for rediscovering the priorities in your life (I know I had to do the same only very recently). :)

It takes alot of humility to reveal things as such on a public forum. I can appreciate that, Dav.

Take care, and alongside everyone else... a big Thank You for your efforts/input/achievements in the industry.

And all the best with life outside the forum life :)

Condolences to the family Dav. I`m sure your efforts won`t have been in vain, those who know you have seen how much time you have dedicated to your dad and your SPL passion, and getting priorities in order can take time to get ones head around it. Cya around the lanes eh.

Sorry to hear of your loss Dav

I know we haven't exactly seen eye to eye in the past in regards to Western Australia and competitions but it's worth saying that you will be missed mate. We did have a good patch (Back around 2005-2008 I think) and it couldn't have been possible without the support from you and your family. A lot of the big guns are now laying dorment in WA which is a shame, our state has slidden back again but thems the breaks I guess. Good luck for the future.

Mike

A big thank-you goes out to everyone and your support is very important to me right now and I will still be around the traps. What we have done in the past was and still a big part of my life and I will support where and when I can.

Cheers and good luck to everyone,
