As you may or may not know, I was expelled from the SE Rowing Club on some of the most insufficient grounds and without due process.

I have been a very high-profile member for nearly 20 years. I feel I was wrongly expelled and I am trying to mount the best defense to get myself reinstated. So I am looking into retaining legal council.

I need to be very clear, I am not "trying to burn the club down." But it feels like this current administration keeps moving the goalposts. So, I would like to have a third party who is removed from all the interpersonal entrapments have a look at my case, get sound counsel, and put my best foot forward so I can once again enjoy the club I have poured my heart and soul into.

And maybe this will send a message that unconventional and quirky is how we like the club.
