GM Change, Valencia Stars

Post by recte44 » Thu Nov 19, 2020 7:17 pm

Unfortunately things haven't quite worked out with Greg Smothers as the Valencia GM, and after giving him a three day deadline to reply which came and went, the Governing Board had to make a tough call and move forward with a different GM for the Stars.

Please join me in congratulating @Clayman, Neil Thomas, who is the latest UMEBA GM to step into a BBA spot.

Thank you everyone for the welcomes and such, much appreciated. I'll be honest it was a tough decision, however it was made easier by not having to put up with that Jerusalem GM ;) No it was made easier because imo the UMEBA is the strongest it's ever been with Jim, John, Mike and the additions of Ryan and Rich. Hopefully the plan I was putting in place in Beirut will work in Valencia.

Nothing that works in UMEBA works in the BBA lol. There’s just too many sharks swimming in these muddy waters, you just never see them coming :D
