A question.......... - how do people get to be governors of the Ridge College. Are not vacancies advertised locally?
If they are, how come no-one from Marple is there...
I have no idea, so this is a genuine enquiry. Only there have been so many comments about them not living in the Marple area.
I just thought that if it was something that was advertised locally, and no-one applied, that would explain why they all lived somewhere else.

Here's the link on the college website "Becoming a Governor" (http://www.camsfc.ac.uk/cmsfc-about.asp?AboID=50)

So that answers my question, and begs another....
Why is there not someone from Marple represented on this body ? Maybe some of the more vociferous members on here should apply....

Well there was one from Marple Bridge but he resigned in protest at the college's plans to sell to a supermarket.

Oh..... maybe he should have stayed..... it's really sad but I suppose it's a principle thing....
It's just that lots of folks seem to be saying that the governors don't care as they don't live in Marple - I wonder - did anyone care where they lived before the supermarket was mooted ?
I'm not trying to cause an argument, I'm just curious and still trying to get my head around everything.

There was actually a thread that dealt with this a few weeks ago with a typically thorough and knowledgeable reply from Dave. It's here: http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=3719.msg17180#msg17180 (http://www.marple-uk.com/smf/index.php?topic=3719.msg17180#msg17180). it's worth reading the posts before Dave's that led up to his reply.

Read all the way through - thank you. :)

I think in future there will probably always be someone in Marple on or trying to get on the board of governors. Its not that people didnt care, just didnt realise!
