Hi,

I was meant to get round to writing this statement regards recent events over at SSO last week but my ten month old little girl has a had a very bad chest infection and cold so have not had time til now..



We arrived over there in obvious good spirits and started having few drinks quite
Early on. Now fast forwarding about 12hrs to about 2am or so myself and P1Alan had
Bit of an altercation where I struck him. Absolutely and utterly 110% my fault and I fully accept all responsibility to the incident and truly apologise to any hurt and anguish this has caused to himself, his partner and his family. I hope for both of us to get past this someday and possibly forgive me for my actions and become friends again in the near future.

The second incident involving Carlo was also out of order on my behalf. As all of us had a large intake of alcohol things were being said were in normal more sober circumstances you would turn the other cheek as such. Again I fully accept responsibility that my actions were unjust and out of order and again would like to sincerely apologise for any hurt, anguish or upset this has caused to himself, his partner or his family. Myself and Carlo have made up no problem. We have known each other for about 8 years and we will remain strong friends as before.

There are a couple of points on the statement from club I’d like to point out as inaccurate.
First one is regards wearing clubwear at time of incident. I was not as was wearing plain t-shirt.
Second is regards being PUT to bed and returning down 1hr. This is totally untrue. When we returned to Hotel myself and ISB4 went out to garden of hotel beside lobby. All this happened from town to hotel in a 30minute timeframe. I would like to strongly point this out as this would make things pre-meditated which it certainly was not.
Third one is regards allegations of not apologising to lads involved. Again this statement is untrue. I apologised to P1Alan at 8.30am the following morning. Carlo at 10.30am when we arrived at SSO and ISB4 as he was there at the time in hotel, later on Sunday evening after SSO back at the hotel.., And of course Niallyboy as well.


I fully hold my hands up to being out or order and bringing a downer on a trip for the lads that was I’m sure very enjoyable otherwise so I just like to say a huge apology to them.

I’ve been in club for about 4 years and have always strived to constantly promote it and was on committee for a year and a half and have spent many hours and own expense at times promoting and working hard for the club non-stop as have my family at times where help was needed. So the last thing I ever wanted to do is do anything to affect the club. Believe me that there is nobody more disappointed with me then I am myself. I always have the clubs best interests at heart and unfortunately years of hard work go down the drain in 30mins of misjudgement and out of character behaviour through alcohol consumption. I think it’s very very easy for someone to make a mistake under the influence of excess alcohol. Not sure if all their hard work should be forgotten about for this silly mistake though. I’m sure most of us have made grave mistakes because alcohol in the past. For me this was very much out of character.

Once again I’d like to apologise to those involved and all members of the ISDC.


Sincerely

Nice to have ya back postin boss. No doubt it was a serious incident but if yourself and the lads involved can work through this, then I reckon the rest of us should keep to ourselves, we're only rubber-necking at the scene of an accident if ya get my meaning.

Viva la ISDC :subaru:
 
IMO there is a huge difference between losing the head and striking someone and a pre-meditated attack as we where lead to believe..the worst part of all this is that an incident like this made it to the forums and couldn't be resolved before hand.
Everyone makes mistakes, thats why any justice system in the wolrd takes into account previous behaviour.
 
First of all I don't want this thread to turn into another free for all - if I think it is I will lock it.

Dave - I personnally appreciate the fact that you have apologised but I think your playing the incident down quite a bit.
A bit of an altercation?? I was talking to you after you threw a glass at the floor where myself and other members were standing
and then you attacked me hitting me 5/6 times in the head leading to injuries which I have outlined in the members section. That is not a bit of an altercation - that is an unprovoked attack!

Niall brought you back to the hotel so I'll let him defend himself but Ian (ISB4) came back to the hotel with me?? You approached us at the reception area where you gave me and Ian more verbal.... we ignored this and went to bed but then Ian said he was gonna go back down - I'm sure Ian can confirm this...... now I've no doubt in my mind that you were still under the influence at this stage so maybe the details are a bit muddled. All this DID NOT happen in a 30min timeframe - it was at least one hour if not more......

As for apologising - someone had to tell you to apologise to me on the morning and when I spoke to you you told me you done nothing wrong :dunno:

And let me point something out - you are not the only one who puts hard work into the club.....

Anyway hopefully everybody will learn something from this in the future.

Alan.
 
Well said Dave :clap: :clap: :clap:

Good to have you back :thumbsup: even if its just in traders section :roll:

Club is not at a total loss when it still has your enthusiasm and knowledge around :thumbsup:


Hoping you can get back into your proper role soon :thumbsup:


And Best wishes for your little girl hopes she gets better soon :thumbsup:



ps. took alot to come on here and say that. well done, shows how passionate you are about this club :clap:
 
i think both parties have said there peice and maybe p1 alan and dave wont work it out, it happened over a week ago and i think we should move on as airing dirty linen in public serves no benefit to anyone, mistakes happen and the world would be a boring place if we all got on (maybe better but boring none the less) hopefully this site can continue to strive and build on previous success and the above incident can be a lesson to everyone that drink can be great fun but should be had in moderation (believe me i done enough stupid things with it) dave is continuing as a trader and i think that is brilliant as he has helped numerous people nad went above and beyond in his job for members, i also believe its graet p1 alan has stayed on commitee as he obviously had an ordeal which upset him and he continues to put 110% effort into club. we only get one life its not a dress rehersal so lets move on and all help to keep this great club working without bitterness.
 
its good to see that both partys have put there personal differences aside for the sake of the club that takes a lot of character and i would like to thank both dave and alan for provin that the good of the club is there main priority hats off to both of u because this is a great club but clubs only become great from the hard and sometime thankless work done by the ppl who run it. I think the committee do a great job here and may it continue in the future so i would like to thank all involved in makin ISDC the place it is today.

@ Dave its takes a lot to come onto a public forum like this and make a heartfelt apology respect to u :thumbsup:
lets hope we can all move on now and concentrate on the most important thing our love of subarus :subaru: :subaru: :subaru: :subaru:
 
@p1alan


i do not want this thread to go to a free for all either so on agreement there.

I can go into responding to some of the stuff you've mentioned there to refute them but as said above this will go into a huge over and back comments which i genuinely don't want. I would like to apologise for being out of order on my behalf as mentioned and been sanctioned for that by yourselves. This was the purpose of this thread.

So from that i'd like for myself and hopefully yourself and rest of the members to move on from this.

thanx

On that note I'm gonna lock this topic.
(Anyone that has a issue with me doing that feel free to PM me)

Dave has apologised so let's move on.
