It's a bit more complicated than that...
Actually I was reasonably heartened by the CE's letter. If it's right that the focus is going to be more on member groups and on supporting cycling, that's a sensible use of very limited resources. Given the timing of various announcements and press lead-times it was never going to be easy to put anything in this issue of the mag.
The CTC has been in a bit of a mess since well before the charity debacle. It strikes me as a fundamentally good group of people (I particularly rate Roger Geffen, and not just because he's an acquaintance) struggling with a sentimental legacy which is increasingly unimportant and hamstrung by a pseudo-democratic governance process. There was a member survey carried out last year, which I suspect has strongly influenced the changes.
I'm glad it still exists because there are still some very important things for it to do. It's a much better organisation for someone like me than BC (too focussed on the mamil),
