For 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!

Not quite sure what your "call to arms" is all about Watcher-person. You indicate there is this great groundswell of discontent in relation to the ITA. As someone reasonably involved in community theatre I can say I think you are off the mark. Sure there were some people unhappy with the results of the Finleys (and this has developed into concern with the process leading to the Finley decisions), but this is just one issue. If there is discontent with the ITA in general, no one has mentioned it on this website. Perhaps you have mistaken you and a few mates (or is it girlfriends?) sitting around having a bit of a whinge as a groundswell.
But I would like to make 2 specific points. Firstly I find your final sentence about money to be distasteful. It could be interpreted to indicate at least recklessness if not dishonesty with "the coffers". Secondly, in a democracy we have the right to speak our minds, but I feel if in so doing we cast aspersions on others, it is common decency to attach ones name.
