Hi all,

For somewhat obvious reasons I'm pointing this at older members of the forum, dating all the way back to 2008(?). Loads of older posts have been deleted, so there isn't really much of a record anymore.

Given that when it was originally set up we had formerly famous names (Andy Yosha and Sasha as some examples) who ended up becoming coaches whose reputations have been... patchy, clearly a lot has happened over the years.

Now, the consensus that I can see is that "pickup is dead" and that there's no substitute for self-betterment, emotional resilience, conversation skill and looking the part.

So I ask - what, when, why, where (and possibly how) ?
