I was a PC mum and committee member for years. I ran shows, catering, helped with groundwork, OH sponsored stuff. Had a great time for many many years.

I made a complaint that to this day I believe was valid. Nothing petty or small. I had backing from several witnesses. The DC was friends with the person I complained about and area manager was good friends with both. My daughter was treated horribly by the assistant DC and her clique and we had to move clubs which was sad as long standing friendships and ties were disrupted. It was genuinely distressing and I still feel upset when I think of it.
Not only was it all brushed away no one actually was remotely interested.

Are you me?! Same thing happened to me and we'd been a really helpful family prior to this incident. Put all of us off the organisation as a whole.

This sounds very much like our experience. Was it long ago or under the current regime?

When I complained, they just closed ranks. In fact, the head of performance or whatever he was sent an email to everyone saying 'just ignore this, hopefully she'll shut up and go away'

Stupidly he copied me in.

Over 20 years ago now but a friend at work has had a similar experience last year with the same PC - different DC and Area people but nothing seems to change. She is not a petty person and again, was a "valued" member with her son.

I'd rather not at least one of the people has since died and I feel it would be vindictive. I live in Surrey for a general idea of area.
