It's Time for a change
Mon, 9 Feb 2004, 03:25 pmFor all those people that have ever had a gripe with the ITA, stand up and be counted.
Now that your all standing, are you mice or human beings?
I hope the latter.
Well unless you have been living under a log somewhere, you realize the AGM for the ITA is nearly upon us.
This is no silly date plucked from the sky, or a time to avoid Lottery House, just in case you get a job.
"It's Time", as the Labour party told us in the 70"s, to make a change.
Yes thats right folks, you can make a difference.
We live in a democratic society and we live with freedom of speech. so stand up and be counted.
All I have heard on hear, and from the horses mouths, is "they do this", "he did that", "she said that".
Well if your not happy, vote for the people that will make you happy.
Oh and if you make a mistake, it's only 12 months until we do it all again.
So as the title suggests: "It's Time for a Change".
Be there Sunday 22nd February and make your vote count.
After all they are spending your money. I know how mine should be spent,
Do You!

Wed, 11 Feb 2004, 06:30 amI think I have finally been goaded into replying to some of the rubbish that has been posted lately regarding the ITA and the Finley Awards.
Firstly, to "The Watcher", I am very disappointed that your cowardice did not allow you to make yur post under your own name. Old fashioned I may be, but I was always taught that if you had the courage of your convictions, you put your name to them! The committee of the ITA may not be to your liking, but I can vouch for their dedication to Community Theatre in WA.
I said, when I took on this job last year, that we needed to define the role of the ITA within WA Community Theatre. I do not believe that it is the job of the ITA only to produce a newsletter, run a One Act Dramafest and co-ordinate the Finley Awards. Our founder, Dorothy Barber, had a much greater vision for this organisation, and I have tried to expound this vision several times this year and last! I believe we have a much greater role in promoting the sharing of our assets, both human and material, between all member clubs.
As far as the comments about the Finleys are concerned, it seems to me that most of the negatives come from a few precious ones who thought they should have won awards and didn't. Tough!!! There are clubs around who enter each year with quite good productions and never win, but do they complain - no! Each of the adjudicators have been put forward by their clubs, have gone through the training time regarding the GODA system and have been professed as competent. The comments that have been made by a few are an insult to the adjudicators, the system and the ITA!
I Made it known to the ITA committee that I was not prepared to stand again as President this year. However, the garbage to which this committee has been subjected over the Finleys has made me think again. I may not succeed in being re-elected, but I will not just lay down under the claptrap from a few precious ones!
