DD,
First, I'd expect that the CEO of the larger merged club would be paid more than either of the two previous CEO's?
Second, were the significant administrative requirements and associated costs factored into the savings analysis. I'd bet they weren't.
Thirdly, I hope so, but in my view these forecast significant savings are overly optimistic, in fact there is a chance that the merged business will perform worse than the two smaller competitive businesses it replaced, I hope not.

I can't answer that one. You might be right, but you might not be.

Yes there were. $800,000 - $1.1 mill was shown as possible one-off costs.
Thirdly, I hope so, but in my view these forecast significant savings are overly optimistic, in fact there is a chance that the merged business will perform worse than the two smaller competitive businesses it replaced, I hope not.
Yes, there is a chance of that. But right now all indications to me are that there are significant financial benefits.
Regardless of what you or I think, the merger was being pushed for by the industry, by the controlling body, by the government.

It is just such a sensible move and the mind boggles as to why it didn't happen before this. It was talked about when we were kids and people would say it just would never be. Well done to a lot of people but especially to people like Ross(Ascot) who really put in the effort . So it seems from where I stand anyway.  |

Ascot was merely one of dozens who put their heart and soul into the merger.
Merging was first mooted by QTC board 15 years ago, but BTC told them to go and ...
If one person warrants separation from the crowd it's BILL CARTER - and of course he permanently will hold the credit for saving Doomben from the wreckers.

Modify your post that has the attachment and click on the drop down menu that says " Link Inline Image..." and select " inline full attachment" to display it as full size  And this will be added to your post [ attachimg=#] if you are creating a new post, just do the " inline attachment thing" as above. Also if adding more then one attachment / photo's just add the above tag, but replace the "#" with the corresponding attachement, ie [ attachimg=1] [ attachimg=2] [ attachimg=3] |

No, no. I spend some time at home occasionally - and Doomben of course.

He gets my park at Doomben in a couple of weeks. I am going to put some nails in the space before I leave though.
