When I have visited Menorca, I have visited some beaches not labelled as "Nudist", however I have witnessed a sprinkling of those exposing their private parts.
Rest assured I did not come into this category nor did the majority on these beaches.

You can do whatever you like. You seem to here, where insult and personal criticism routinely replace addressing the subject whenever your balloon gets pricked.

When I discuss the impact of the internet on the way opinions are formed, using an example of someone you have encountered on the internet is the only relevant personal experience. Don't flatter yourself. It's the only time you get mentioned.

The only reason anyone doesn't stumble over anything is that they don't stretch their horizons enough. The very essence of stumbling over something is that it is a surprise.

All those who wander are not lost.

Apparently, even Willo wanders from time to time!

You may find more than an eyeful that makes you feel embarrassed.

Apologies he was a trustee. I would be very surprised ifthey were unaware of his attendance 11 years ago, Either they don’t do due diligence or they were more than happy to be associated with someone with disgraceful views
It appears he actually resigned

I think the point here is not whether Mermaids agree with his views on children and sex but that as a children's charity it is basic 101 to properly vet employees and in this case a trustee who doesn't appear to have been shy about his views.

At the very least this is a competency issue.

One more point

It's what they said. Trustees are, so far as I am aware, unremunerated volunteers, whose only role is to sign official papers, and deal with the distribution of assets in the event of a wind-up. I don't suppose that an interview was required. They play no role in determining policy, or in the daily work, unless they also have another role within the organisation. In most cases an organisation is pleased to have found someone to take on the role.

Yes, he resigned, but no doubt was asked to or be removed. Less stigma in resigning.

In the club I belong to, the Trustees play no active role at all and never meet. Very occasionally they will sign paperwork to avoid the need to collect the signatures of every member. Their function is primarily as a back-up should the club fold.

So I think it depends on the sector. Trustees of charities seemingly have a wider role, but are still unpaid volunteers and not involved in the daily activity. There's not enough of them, and they are much in demand.

Why a school would ask for a CRB on someone without any direct involvement with the children beats me. I didn't think even the Governors were expected to have to do that. It seems overcautious.

How extensive an interview process goes on will, I suspect, depend on the organisation. Given the shortages of volunteers, they may have been very happy to have found a willing one.
