Although this thread is closed we have now received an extract from @OldBlueLady (thanks OBL) of the response of Tom Lawrence on the circumstances of this case. The extract is now reproduced below. The thread will still remain closed.
KF said it had come to her attention that this gentleman, who had worked at the Club for 40 or so years, with the latter half being voluntary, has recently been relieved of his duties and told to leave, and that members of his family have been vocal on social media, in their unhappiness at the way this gentleman had been treated. She said she would like to be able to issue a response to a post on ShrimperZone about this, and would appreciate TL’s input. TL explained that he had seen a social media post and an email, which both contained inaccurate information. However, TL said it is correct to say that Harry is no longer assisting the Grounds Staff at the Club. TL said that he thought it would be inappropriate to comment any further in relation to Harry, however he did talk in general terms about Health & Safety, Insurance and Risk Assessments being part and parcel of running the business, he said that the Club has responsibilities and obligations which often inform some of the decisions we have to make.
