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!

Oddly enough I read The Watcher's post not as an attack on the committee but as an endorsement of the work the ITA have been doing and a tongue-in-cheek call to those sitting on the sidelines and commentating to, as it were, put up or shut up!
As Jason has suggested I think it is a shame that rather than drawing a considered response that addresses the many constructive suggestions made, you've chosen to characterise discussion about the awards as rubbish and sour grapes.
The latter is particularly ironic as some of the most vocal critics of the adjudication process have been people that have won awards! Some of you may even have long enough memories to remember the banner headline in ArtsWest the year one of my own productions won an Award: "Finleys a Farce: Says Award-Winning Director"
:-)
I'm afraid that by mischaracterising the position and motives of those interested in improving the adjudication process, there is a danger that this will perpetuate the myth that the ITA is unwilling to countenance or even consider suggestions for improving the adjudication process.
