Ferret,

You seem bitter an twisted you have not been approached by KOCC.  KOCC welcomes anyone who choses to be a member.

I do not, with respect, think Matt A was poached by KOCCat all.  A person can chose to change to another club on their own, whereas "poaching" suggests that there was active corruption and touting to get the person to shift clubs.

I doubt Matt shifted clubs lightly, and he would have made his own mind up.  Why KOCC and not HDCC?  Might be better to ask him, but it is worth noting that the people he trains and races with (as it a shop team) are KOCC members. 

You assume that people who shift to clubs other than HDCC, or shift from HDCC, must have been "poached".  Far too HDCC-centric for my liking.  FWIW, there are numpties within KOCC who have a similar narrow
my club" view that you have.  Perhaps you are more like them than you care to admit - much like The Choker and Magic Steve are more alike than they care to admit.

Lee K has not, in the time I have been a member of KOCC, the Handicapper - he has always been the Assistant Handicapper and has always, in his humble ways, merely wanted a supporting role.  He has always been referred to in KOCC Minutes, and on its website, as the Assistant Handicapper.  Hence you are mistaken.

Yours in factual accuracy

MC
