Just how in hell did that happen

I went to the Phoenix AGM with a firm intention of not being on the committee this year. Damn that sense of responsibility. Even after I was nominated, I was thinking - if there are more than enough candidates on the ballot I can withdraw in a "lets make this easier" gesture - but no, the ballot wasn't even filled. You have to be a bit concerned for the future of a club when you can't even fill all the positions on the committee and many of those who do make it do so reluctantly.
