I can say that the two worst experiences I have ever had, in fact make that three, were when the "pack" of adults decided that someone had to be a scapegoat and asked people to leave as a leader. I can only look back and shudder at the actual way it was done - horrible. In all three cases, it may in fact have been right to ask them to leave - they were difficult people who all caused issues - but because they were volunteers, it was hard to remove them without causing upset.<br />I feel faintly sick still thinking about it - but my children enjoyed their time with the group..<br />You get rotten apples everywhere - you seem to have your share!Fi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.com
