I'm a little disappointed

Hi all,
I know we all go on and on about how professional NPL is and how we appreciate all the efforts put in by NPL staff and most of all by our TD's, but I want to get a sook off my chest and hope it is recieved with constructive criticism.
First of all:
I must confess one of the things I loved about the way NPLSA and the NPLSA Forums was run was the fact our OM had a HUGE input into the forum section.
I am sure Annabelle is doing her absolute best, but it would be awesome to hear from her once in awhile in these forums.
We always had a bit of a heads up about the new thought processes being put in place by Head office and I do understand that Garth did go over and above his duties, but it was always awesome to hear what was going on in the pipelines, rather than just have the usual "hearsay and gossip" handed around.
I guess I just get a little miffed about the fact we have no idea what is going on now.
Are there going to be top 10 weekly players?
etc etc....
Secondly:
I am not sure about all the other corners of Adelaides NPL venues, but we at the Sowf have not even had our prize packs come out yet.
Is it only me, or is that unfair to the TD's that have to explain they have not been given them yet and will IOU them to the final table players?
What kind of image is that giving to the new players that seem to be joining our ranks at the moment?
I can understand why last season they did recycle the old trophies, keyrings, DVD's (OMG those damn DVD's) and the AA card protectors, but surely there are new offerings in the pipeworks?
How much do we love those new cool packs? I know I got 7 because of the damn 7 2nd places I got, but they are all useful! They are awesome!
But maybe we can get a break from those horrible DVD's.. It is at the point now we can't even give them away to bystanding watchers.
I will leave it there for now, I do appreciate what NPL is doing and has done in the past, but I guess one of the things I love about the forums being set up is the fact we can air our disappointments and can get constructive thoughts sent back.
I still maintain that NPL is highly professional, it just seems that at the moment they are slipping a little.
