It has got steadily worse over the last few months. II get moaned at if I don't call a district meeting even if we have nothing to discuss as everything is done by email these days. If I do call one I get maybe 6 of the 40 odd leaders in my district attend. This Christingle service is the one chance we have of coming together each year as no one can be bothered to organise anything else. It has been in the diary since last year and it is when I can give out the special badges earned and the long service awards and it is just so nice.
Of the 13 units in the district, one couldn't come because they are adjoined to a private school which has now broken up so that is fair enough. Two more because the Leaders have something else on a Thursday, they gave me plenty of notice.
3 units told me Wednesday that they weren't coming as half the girls were elsewhere so they just told the others not to bother, the last told me at 4.15 yesterday afternoon that they weren't coming.
I just cannot be doing with the pettyness anymore.
Sorry for going on
