Dear NABAS....
I am sorry your secretariat have decided to report me trading
standards saying I am pretending to be something I am not...
you are aware that this is not the case.. in fact I take great
pains to distance myself and can not recommend you, as I have
quite clearly stated several times.
It is even sadder that one of your committee members knew nothing
about it... but then the shambles that NABAS has become nothing
surprises me.
Sadly you take a swipe at everyone who is not doing what you
want including posting on your website and facebook very unprofessional
digs at a rival organisation.
This is neither professional nor how you should deal with competition.
Sadly, if we were to go by the very low numbers who turn up at
the AGMs most of your members really only want the cheap insurance.
Which is a real shame when this is NOT what NABAS was set up
for or was..
There are now alternatives for this so it will be interesting
to see what happens next year. A "non-profit" organisation
which does nothing but bank it's members money or one that may
(if they are lucky) make a profit and help your business... a
choice. Having lost the support of the major industry players
taking public swipes at others is really not good form.
Perhaps you should also look closer to your committee to see
who did actually attempt to mislead the public in the past and
had to refund money for it.
Or those who have revealed more of themselves than most would
deem decent on public websites such as YouTube. If you are going
to set a standard please make it high... then you may gain back
some of the respect you had in the past.
I apologise for my method in posting this but really I am too
busy for all this pettiness and nonsense and the chinese whispers
in this industry will distort it.
And for the avoidance of doubt, these words are written whilst
calm and sad and if you are reading them with vitriol... you
are wrong...
Everyone has a choice... I have taken one...
FOR
THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT - DESPITE LIBELLOUS COMMENTS MADE BY THE
NABAS SECRETARIAT I MAKE NO SECRET OF THE FACT THAT I AM AN Ex
NABAS APPROVED INSTRUCTOR ANY REFERENCE TO NABAS COURSES SHOULD
HAVE EX IN FRONT.. I APOLOGISE FOR NOT CHANGING MY ENTIRE SITE
BUT I REALLY HAVE TRIPLED MY WORKLOAD SINCE JOINING THE MAJOR
BALLOON INDUSTRY MANUFACTURERS AND MANY EX MEMBERS BY RESIGNING
OR NOT RENEWING. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOUR COURSES ARE ANY LESS
INDEPENDENT OR HAVE LESS CONTENT IN FACT THEY HAVE MORE BUSINESS
RELATED AND REAL WORLD BALLOON SKILLS ANDARE TAUGHT BY INDEPENDENT
INDUSTRY TEACHERS WITH PROFESSIONAl TEACHER QUALIFICATIONS. NABAS
SEEM TO BE GOOD AT MAKING THREATS AND HAVING A GO AT EX MEMBERS
AND HAVE THREATENED ME WITH TRADING STANdARDS SAYING I HAVE DONE
THIS DELIBERATELY... I HAVEN'T WHEN I GET CHANCE TO REDO THE
SITE I WILL ENSURE IT AL SAYS EX-NABAS OR WILL BE REMOVED COMPLETELY.
YOUR CERTIFICATION WILL BE ACCEPTED BY OTHER ORGANISATIONS INCLUDING
